Wrapping up 2021, the Landmark Recovery Podcast is highlighting our top five episodes of the year! As one of the fastest growing podcasts covering drug and alcohol addiction, we are striving to bring the knowledge and personal stories of experts and recovering addicts to our listeners.
This year we talked about rock bottom, rehab, and relapse. We tackled difficult topics like trauma, shame, and the chaos of active addiction. But we also shared stories of hope and recovery, restored relationships, and healthier ways of coping.
If you are new to the podcast and aren’t sure where to start, be sure to give one of our top five episodes a listen! Like what you hear? Please let us know by leaving a review.
