Just notice if I'm feeling good, if I'm having the pink cloud, am I letting my daily practices slip? Because if I am, try and get back in. Don't get yourself into the danger zone because you feel good.
Feeling on top of the world can sometimes be a double-edged sword, especially in recovery. In this episode of 'How I Quit Alcohol,' Danni Carr sits down with her friend Lyndal Hunt to discuss the intriguing concept of the 'safety trap.' Lyndal explains how feeling too good can lead to neglecting the ongoing work needed to maintain sobriety. She stresses that even during the high points, it's crucial to stay vigilant and proactive to avoid the risk of relapse.
Lyndal shares her personal journey and the importance of consistent self-care practices. She talks about how sticking to daily routines, even during holidays, can be a game-changer in staying on track. Recognizing early warning signs like shifts in mood or behavior is key to preventing a potential relapse. By taking action early, individuals can steer clear of a full-blown setback and continue their path towards recovery.
The conversation also touches on the significance of leaning on friends, family, and support groups. Building a strong sober community can provide the encouragement and accountability needed to stay committed. Lyndal and Danni highlight the need for a mindset shift—seeing recovery as a continuous journey rather than a final destination. This episode is packed with practical advice and heartfelt insights, making it a must-listen for anyone navigating their own recovery journey.
Whether you're just starting out or have been sober for years, Lyndal's wisdom offers valuable lessons on maintaining long-term well-being and finding joy in sobriety.
