When you are the average of the sum of the five people you hang around with you, show me your friends, I'll show you your future.
Ever thought about how much the people around you influence your journey to sobriety? In this episode of 'Real Recovery Talk', Tom Conrad dives into the powerful impact your social circle can have on your recovery. Tom breaks down the idea that who you hang out with can make or break your success in staying sober. He shares that if you surround yourself with positive, supportive people, you're more likely to thrive.
But if you're constantly around negative influences, your path to recovery can become much harder. Tom’s message is simple but profound: stick with the winners. Drawing from his own experiences and those of others, Tom explains how crucial it is to choose your companions wisely. Whether you’re aiming to stay sober, excel in business, or even climb mountains, the principle remains the same—surround yourself with people who are already succeeding in those areas.
Tom emphasizes that this isn't just about avoiding bad influences; it's about actively seeking out and engaging with those who uplift and inspire you. Tom also touches on the broader concept of lifestyle changes that go hand-in-hand with sobriety. It’s not just about quitting alcohol or drugs; it’s about transforming your entire way of living. This often means reevaluating and changing your social circles, environments, and even daily routines.
The episode serves as a reminder that recovery is a holistic process that requires a shift in mindset and habits. For anyone in early recovery, Tom’s advice is particularly valuable. He suggests finding people who are committed to their sobriety, attending meetings, and building a network of sober supports. By doing so, you create an environment conducive to your own success.
Tom’s insights underscore the transformative power of being around successful individuals and highlight the undeniable link between your environment and your recovery journey.
