Surviving Tough Days: Three Tips for Sobriety

Episode Overview

  • 'This too shall pass' - recognising the temporary nature of bad moments.
  • Avoid making permanent decisions based on temporary emotions.
  • 'Tough times don't last, but tough people do' - building resilience through challenges.
  • Practising gratitude to shift focus from problems to positives.
  • Learning to respond rather than react impulsively.
'This too shall pass' means that this is temporary. Whatever you're going through, it has come to pass, not to stay.
Ever had one of those days where everything seems to go wrong? Connor Duffy, host of The Sober Plug, dives into the challenges of tough days in sobriety and offers practical advice to help you navigate through them. This episode is all about taking control of your emotions rather than letting them control you. Connor shares three essential tips that can make a significant difference when you're feeling overwhelmed. First, remember that 'this too shall pass'.
It's easy to let a bad moment snowball into a bad day, but recognising its temporary nature can help you regain perspective. Second, avoid making permanent decisions based on temporary emotions. Connor opens up about his own struggles with impulsive reactions and how learning to pause has been crucial in his recovery. Lastly, he reminds us that 'tough times don't last, but tough people do'.
Drawing from his own experiences, Connor highlights the importance of facing challenges head-on to build resilience and strength. Whether you're early in your recovery journey or have been sober for years, these tips can serve as valuable reminders to stay grounded and focused. So, if you're looking for some heartfelt advice and a bit of humour to lighten the load, this episode is definitely worth a listen. Remember, it's all about progress, not perfection.
Give it a go and see how these simple yet powerful tips can help you on your path to sobriety.
