Episode 6

This week on the podcast, we talk about how we talk to our children about drugs and alcohol.

R&R with Ellen Woods and Mandy Manners discusses recovery and the rest. The real story of what it’s like to be in long term sobriety, how we have and continue to discover what it means to be well, take care of ourselves and grow through life challenges. For both of us being sober is the cornerstone of our lives. This podcast is the anything and everything that comes up along the way.

R&R is intended to be conversational rather than instructional, we encourage each person to design, discover and be proud of their own sobriety tools. We celebrate all roads to recovery and criticise none. This podcast is our own personal stake in the sand, to our own continued commitment to nurturing our recovery.

*Spoiler Alert*

We decided to change the name of this podcast from… The Rambling Podcast (Recovery & The Rest…) to Recovery & The Rest… after Episode 4 because a) As you will hear Mandy can’t seem to remember the name of the podcast, consistently calling it the wandering podcast fml b) There are actually a lot of The Rambling Podcast’s who knew? c) Recovery & The Rest… is very much on topic for what we will talk about. So apologies for that!
