3 Essential Steps to Kickstart Your Sobriety Journey

Episode Overview

  • Don't listen to your head; it's often misleading.
  • Get connected with a supportive community.
  • Make tangible lifestyle changes for lasting sobriety.
  • Never doubt your ability to stay sober.
  • Focus on solutions rather than problems.
Your head is just a pathological liar. It is not going to give you the truth. You know the truth.
Are you stuck in a cycle of yo-yo sobriety, finding yourself repeatedly drawn back to drinking despite knowing it doesn't serve you well? In this episode of Addiction Unlimited, Angela Pugh shares three crucial steps she would take if she were starting her sobriety journey today. Angela, a seasoned life coach and recovery expert, combines her personal experiences with insights from her extensive career to offer practical advice for those struggling with alcohol addiction.
She doesn't just talk about problems; she's all about solutions. First, Angela emphasises the importance of not listening to your head. She explains that the mind can be a pathological liar, tempting you with thoughts that you can control your drinking when deep down, you know the truth. Next, she highlights the necessity of getting connected. Isolation can be detrimental, so finding a supportive community of like-minded individuals is key to maintaining sobriety.
Angela's humour and relatable anecdotes make this advice both engaging and accessible. Finally, she stresses the need to make tangible changes in your life. You can't expect different results if you continue living the same lifestyle that supported your drinking habits. Angela even throws in a bonus tip: never doubt your ability to stay sober. She reminds you that while sobriety can be challenging, so is living with alcoholism, and choosing your hard is crucial.
Angela's straightforward, no-nonsense approach makes this episode a must-listen for anyone serious about recovery. Her mix of tough love and genuine support provides a roadmap to not just quitting alcohol but embracing a healthier, happier life. Ready to take action and turn your life around? Tune in and start your journey to lasting sobriety today.
