You're much stronger than you think. The rope that held you down in the past is nothing compared to the strength and resilience you've built in recovery.
Feeling stuck in your sobriety journey? You're not alone, and this episode of The Sober and Happy Podcast is here to help. Tim Phillips, with over a decade of sobriety under his belt, dives into why we often feel stagnant in our recovery and how to break free from that rut.
He uses relatable metaphors like the goldfish in a small tank and the elephant tethered to a stake to illustrate how our mindset can limit our growth even after we've achieved sobriety. Tim explains that just quitting drinking is only the beginning – the real challenge is finding purpose and passion in your new sober life. Tim shares practical advice on recognising the signs of being stuck and offers actionable steps to reignite your passion.
From changing up your routine to leaning on your support system, he emphasises that small changes can lead to big transformations. One of the key takeaways is that your internal dialogue plays a huge role in your recovery. If you keep telling yourself you're limited, you'll stay stuck. But by rewriting your story and taking small steps towards new goals, you can start to see real progress. Tim also touches on the importance of community and support systems in recovery.
Whether it's a friend, a therapist, or a recovery group, having people who can offer perspective and encouragement can make a world of difference. He challenges you to identify one area where you feel stuck and commit to making one small change this week. It could be as simple as trying a new hobby or reaching out to someone in your support network. If you're feeling like sobriety has lost its spark, this episode is a must-listen.
Tim's compassionate and relatable approach will leave you feeling hopeful and motivated to take the next step in your journey. So why not give it a go and see how these small changes can lead to big improvements in your life?
