Recovery Rejects: Recent Episodes
Lindsey & Rich
There are too many people in the recovery world telling other people that they are doing recovery wrong. This leads to people feeling rejected, isolated, and without a place in the recovery world to call home. Join Lindsey and Rich as they explore their lives in recovery, and how they successfully achieved sobriety by forging their own paths. This podcast follows one simple belief - that if your life is getting better, you're in recovery, and that's all that matters. This is a place for anyone who needs it to call home, and here at Recovery Rejects, nobody is rejected. If you have a topic or question that you would like us to discuss, please DM @recoveryrejects on Twitter or Instagram, or email info@recoveryrejects.com.
