Description

Positive Recovery MD inspires and motivates its listeners by providing the tools and foundation needed to thrive and flourish on their addiction recovery journey. Addiction Medicine Specialist and Creator of Positive Recovery, Dr. Jason Powers, is redefining the recovery industry through the lens of Positive Psychology. From best practices for a successful recovery journey and the power of gratitude to the importance of accountability and community, each episode focuses on what truly matters - growth and progress, not perfection. What role does positive psychology play in overcoming addiction? How does practicing gratitude impact addiction recovery? What does it mean to be "Sober Curious"? How does accountability contribute to successful addiction recovery? What are the signs of relapse, and how do I prevent it? And the biggest question of all, what are the first steps to take for addiction recovery? Whether you're in active recovery, have a loved one fighting the disease of addiction, are a recovery advocate wanting to learn more about the latest news in addiction treatment, or simply want to utilize positive psychology to live your best life, then this is the show for you. Host Dr. Powers guides you on a transformative journey to help you create positive habits, develop your character, and live the best life possible in recovery - full of positivity, engagement, fulfillment, relationships, and meaning & purpose. Along with sharing his own experiences and insights, he interviews industry-leading experts as well as recovery advocates, actors, comedians, and professional athletes who will share their own inspirational stories of choosing life beyond substance use. As the Positive Recovery MD community continues to grow and flourish, WE INVITE YOU to join us on the transformative journey towards living your best life possible!
