Small Steps, Big Changes: The Power of 1% Better in Recovery

But Today I think I can honestly say that I am grateful for every stupid thing I've put into my body or done or anything like that, because it got me to a point now where I I know myself and I'm comfortable in my own skin, and I did not have that ever before.
What happens when two Dougs and a Debbie sit down to talk about recovery? You get a conversation that's both insightful and heartwarming. In this episode of 'Casting Light', Doug and Debbie are joined by another Doug, a fellow alumni from Guiding Light. Together, they dive into the idea of getting 1% better every day during early sobriety. This simple yet powerful concept is all about making small, manageable improvements that add up over time.
They discuss how these tiny victories can eventually lead to significant changes, making life in recovery not just bearable, but truly worth living. Doug shares his personal journey, reflecting on the pivotal moments that made him realize the value of staying sober. He talks about the importance of community and how surrounding yourself with supportive people can make all the difference.
The trio also touches on the role of gratitude, pondering whether everything happens for a reason or if it's all just a series of coincidences. Regardless of the answer, they agree that practicing gratitude for both the good and bad experiences can help you appreciate where you are now. And it's not just about talking; they also discuss actionable strategies like yoga and other holistic practices that can aid in recovery.
Whether you're at the beginning of your sobriety journey or have been on this path for a while, this episode offers valuable insights and practical advice. It's a must-listen for anyone looking to make meaningful changes in their life, one small step at a time.
