Why I chose to recover without medical supervision

I wanted to make this episode because I’ve gotten asked this question a lot. Why did I recover without medical supervision?The truth is, it wasn’t because I thought I knew better or because I think everyone should do the same. It was just the decision I made, and I wanted to share why.I talk about what was going through my head, the fears I had, and what it was actually like trying to recover when I didn’t have someone telling me what was normal. There were so many moments where I thought I was doing everything wrong, but I kept going anyway.This isn’t me telling anyone how they should recover. It’s just my experience, and maybe if you’ve ever felt scared, confused, or really alone in recovery, you’ll feel a little less alone after listening.
