Balancing Recovery and Real Life: Honest Talks with Chris, Jeff, and Matt
My ideal for the pod was always that we're just open and honest about what we're dealing with as people in recovery.
Ever wondered how sobriety fits into the chaos of everyday life? In this episode of 'Since Right Now', hosts Chris, Jeff, and Matt pull back the curtain on their own recovery journeys. These three friends don’t shy away from the tough stuff—whether it's dealing with the fear of being judged, handling relapses, or navigating the ups and downs of personal relationships while staying sober.
Their candid discussions shed light on the real struggles and victories that come with choosing a life free from alcohol and drugs. Jeff opens up about how his faith has been a cornerstone in his recovery, offering a sense of purpose and strength during tough times. The trio also dives into the tricky waters of maintaining sobriety through major life changes, like divorce, and the importance of self-care and setting boundaries.
They explore how choosing sobriety can be more than just quitting drinking—it can be a lifestyle choice that brings new meaning to everyday life. One of the most engaging parts of the episode is their take on the concept of 'Dry Curious', where they discuss how even those who aren’t struggling with addiction might explore sobriety as a positive lifestyle change. The conversation takes an interesting turn as they debate the ethics of monetizing recovery content.
Is it helpful or does it risk turning a deeply personal journey into a commodity? With their signature mix of humor and heartfelt honesty, Chris, Jeff, and Matt offer a refreshing look at what it really means to live in recovery. If you're looking for real talk about sobriety mixed with a bit of laughter, this episode is for you.
