When somebody goes into recovery, I think we have a tendency to outgrow the people that we used to party with. Show me your friends, I'll show you your future, and these new relationships that we build are part of the foundation as to where we're going to go in this new sobriety journey.
Ever felt like the early days of sobriety are a mountain too steep to climb? You're not alone. In this episode of Real Recovery Talk, host Tom Conrad and guest Benjamin dive into the three most daunting challenges faced by those new to sobriety. First up, they tackle the tricky task of building new, sober relationships. Tom and Benjamin stress the importance of distancing yourself from old drinking buddies and surrounding yourself with people who genuinely care about your well-being.
It's all about creating a network that supports your new, healthier lifestyle. Next, they discuss the need for a complete lifestyle overhaul. This means adopting new routines, trying out different hobbies, and filling your days with activities that bring joy and purpose. Tom explains how a structured schedule can provide a sense of direction and fulfillment, crucial for staying on track. Finally, they emphasize starting each day with a positive mindset.
Whether it's attending early morning meetings, jotting down a gratitude list, or practicing principles of love and service, these habits can set the tone for a successful day in recovery. Tom's mantra? 'I may not be good at this thing that I'm about to try, but I'm going to try it anyway.' This episode is packed with practical advice and uplifting messages to help you navigate the early stages of sobriety.
Tune in for a dose of hope and encouragement on your journey to a substance-free life.
