One wakes up from a procedure wondering why anyone would voluntarily do that again. The other is mostly annoyed that the drugs work while she's unconscious, which hardly seems fair.\nThey also talk about why medically necessary medication can still stir up fear, how recovery has changed the conversation around antidepressants and pain meds and why honesty—not heroics—is what actually protects sobriety.\nAnd in Petty Resentments, they have a bone to pick with people who whisper, \"Don't tell anyone...\" before revealing information that absolutely nobody was planning to repeat.\nIn this episode:·       The recovery question nobody warns you about·       Why Anna and Lisa have completely opposite reactions to anesthesia·       The surprising debate around medication in early recovery·       What to do when fear shows up in the doctor's office·       Why recovery isn't about proving how tough you are","thumbnail_url":"https://img.transistorcdn.com/6QJTXTqU2RVmqvTUlhKWjo9BiQtmNOU7nqElLuLFSqw/rs:fill:0:0:1/w:400/h:400/q:60/mb:500000/aHR0cHM6Ly9pbWct/dXBsb2FkLXByb2R1/Y3Rpb24udHJhbnNp/c3Rvci5mbS9kMmRj/NjE4NTVkYTFiMzgw/MjFiZWMxYjIxZTIy/OWQzZC5qcGc.webp","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300}
