IN RECOVERY - The Ark House Podcast

IN RECOVERY - THE ARK HOUSE PODCAST continues its brand new Second Season which last week hit the Top Ten of Mental Health podcasts globally.  We are so pleased you are joining our recovery conversation. 
A companion guide for those on their addiction recovery journey, we also want to offer advice and support for those still suffering and offer solutions for those who just want to know more. This is a well-being podcast produced and presented by people with lived experience who want to carry the message of recovery.
Every episode we speak to someone in the spotlight who shares their struggles with addiction. This week comedian, Task Master champion and author of THIRST, JOHN ROBINS. The newly released honest and powerful book about his battle with alcoholism has resonated with so many people, and he joins us to discuss some of Richard's chosen quotes from the book. 
Former resident of Ark House JANET found herself walking through the doors of rehab when she was 70 years old. Lock down took away her routine and her social drinking became a daily habit... earlier and earlier in the day. Janet has the most amazing family who stepped in and got her help and she has come onto IN RECOVERY to hopefully help others who may be struggling. 
This week's recovery hack comes from another former resident ANGELA JOHNSON who founded Addictions North East after her own struggles. This registered charity provides supported housing to those who feel unable to live alone due to addiction or behavioural issues such as mental health conditions, Learning difficulties or homelessness. She speaks to us about the work they do reuniting women with their children. 
This podcast shares real conversations, lived experience and honest stories of hope and transformation within the recovery community. From personal journeys to professional insights into addiction and treatment, IN RECOVERY gives a powerful voice to those walking the path of change.

Welcome to the first episode in Season Two. We are so grateful you are joining us and would ask you to spread the word. 
Every episode we speak to someone in the spotlight who shares their struggles with addiction. To kick off our new season is the iconic TV presenter ULRIKA JONSSON who secretly battled with alcoholism and wants to raise awareness of a struggle that so many face. She joins us on the week of her 2nd sobriety birthday - a huge congratulations to her. 
Former resident JESS joins us to talk openly about her battle with a ketamine addiction. She is passionate about getting the word out there of the dangers people face when they start their journey with this drug. Jess was taking 20 grams a day at one point and had to have life saving operations. Her story is inspirational and incredible and we are proud of her.
This week's recovery hack comes from regular guest MICHAEL WATERS who is a Group Worker at Forward Leeds. He is here to talk about recognising our ego states which are our organised, consistent patterns of thinking, feeling, and behaving that make up our personality at any given time.
