The Embrace Family Recovery Podcast
Health & Fitness:Mental Health
Do you ever feel like you have racing thoughts?
Are you constantly preoccupied with your loved one who has the disease of addiction?
Is it hard to focus on and care for yourself?
If you can say yes to any of these you have found the right podcast!
This subject is near and dear to my heart, Monkey Chatter is something I created to describe the insanity I experience in my head, I call it the voice of my disease keeping me focused on my drug of no choice which is a walking, talking human being.
I have heard from many that this name describes their experience well. Having a name for the incessant voice in their head that keeps them focused on fixing, managing, and attempting to control their addict, has helped them be more aware of it.
Don't worry not only do I share an example of Monkey Chatter from my story, I also offer tools that have assisted me in my recovery. Thankfully the monkey is more tame today however it can start screeching at me anytime I feel fear and then back to recovery basics I must go.
