What about pain?

Episode #13: Emotional pain will show up, but suffering is optional.

In this episode, Damon Frank sits down with George Snyder to talk about something most people in recovery avoid: pain. Not the kind you can medicate away—the kind that creeps up quietly and hijacks your day.

But here’s the thing: pain is part of the deal. What you do with it? That’s where the power is. Damon and George break down how you can shift your perspective—not by pretending it doesn’t hurt, but by recognizing you have a say in how it lands.

No fluff. No fake positivity. Just real talk about how pain shows up and how to move through it without letting it wreck your progress.
