The Recovery Toolkit Podcast - Episode 36: Finding Peace in Recovery – With Charlie Morrison, We Do Recover

This week on the Recovery Toolkit Podcast, Richie is joined by Charlie, who shares his powerful story of survival, hope and lasting change.   After a difficult childhood, drink and drugs became Charlie’s escape. What followed was 30 years of chaos, where dying young felt like the only outcome. But Charlie reached a turning point. With the support of others and the help of AA, he slowly found his people and his path.   In this honest and inspiring chat, Charlie and Richie explore the difference between simply stopping and truly recovering. It’s not just abstinence, it’s about slowing down, knowing yourself, finding peace of mind, and building a life you want to live.   Charlie talks about the joy in life’s small wins, like waking up clear-headed and moving his body. He shares how becoming a Recovery Coach helped him discover a new purpose: breaking the stigma of addiction and showing others that recovery is possible, and personal.   Through We Do Recover, Charlie helps people try different tools like meditation, Tai Chi and breathwork, alongside one-to-one support. He believes recovery should be about more than just getting sober; it should be about finding what works for you.   Whether you’re in recovery yourself, supporting someone who is, or just curious about what real recovery looks like, this episode is full of heart, insight and hope.
