When Rehab Doesn't Fix Everything
from Drunk-ish - A Sobriety Podcast · host Stefanie Wilder-Taylor
This week I’m talking with Josh Welch, a criminal defense lawyer, husband, dad, and person in recovery who has been through it — rehabs, relapses, shame spirals, rebuilding, and the occasional very bad idea involving a tallboy immediately after treatment. You may also recognize him as a frequent guest on his wife's podcast, I've Had It. Josh talks about getting sober after years of addiction, how becoming a father changed what he was willing to fight for, why perfection in recovery can be a trap, and how shame can keep people sick and the radical concept of not beating yourself to death for being human.
