When we talk about freedom and sobriety, it's freedom in our minds. When my mind is free, we get our thoughts back.
Picture this: you've been sober for 19 years. What wisdom would you have gathered? In this engaging episode of the Soberful podcast, Veronica Valli celebrates her 19th year of sobriety by sharing the most impactful lessons she's learned along the way. Veronica dives into the importance of staying teachable, even when you think you've got it all figured out. She warns against the dangers of complacency and highlights the value of always being open to new perspectives and ideas.
One standout lesson is the power of saying no. Veronica shares candid stories about the times she said yes when she really meant no, and the chaos that followed. She urges listeners to be honest about their limits and not fear disappointing others. Another crucial point she makes is about choosing our responses to life's challenges rather than letting them control us. Veronica also touches on the different paths to sobriety, stressing that there's no one-size-fits-all solution.
She advises against giving unsolicited advice, as it can harm relationships. A particularly inspiring theme is the freedom that comes with a clear mind. Veronica recounts how she used to be a people-pleaser but has since learned to focus on her own thoughts and feelings. She talks about the risks and rewards of opening our hearts to love and the significance of maintaining connections with loved ones.
Veronica wraps up by discussing the dangers of emotional drain and the importance of not getting bogged down by life's minutiae. She encourages listeners to be mindful of where they invest their emotional energy and to prioritize meaningful connections. This episode is a treasure trove of insights for anyone on the path to sobriety or in long-term recovery. Veronica's personal stories and hard-earned wisdom offer a refreshing perspective on living a fulfilling, alcohol-free life.
