Soberina's Mountain: Finding Meaning and Humor in Recovery
Look, they do. It's just that most people can't be bothered to listen.
Ever wondered how a maladjusted goat and a mountain can teach you about addiction recovery? In episode #28 of 'Next Time I'll Try Knitting', JJ Chance and his quirky co-hosts take you on a whimsical yet profound journey. The episode kicks off with Soberina, a character perched on a mountain, pondering life's meaning, sponsorship, and why sheep seem to have a lot to say.
It's a mix of surreal storytelling and deep insights that sets the stage for an engaging discussion on Step Twelve of the 12-step program. As the ram on the mountain puts it, people end up on 'sober mountain' either for the quality of grass or because they're running away from something. But Soberina's unique perspective adds a twist—she's got 'terminal uniqueness' and needs to see what's beyond the edge.
This metaphorical exploration serves as a backdrop for tackling the real-life challenges of being a sponsor and practicing spiritual principles in all aspects of life. The conversation is raw, humorous, and thought-provoking, offering listeners a blend of light-hearted moments and serious reflections. Whether you're new to recovery or have been on the journey for years, this episode promises to leave you with a renewed sense of self-reflection and acceptance.
Tune in for an episode that combines humor, wisdom, and a touch of the surreal to explore the complexities of addiction and recovery.
