You don't have to hit that next rock bottom. You have all the evidence you need just by looking back. You just need to find a sufficient why to want to quit digging.
Is hitting rock bottom really a prerequisite for getting sober? Tim, host of The Sober and Happy Podcast, dives into this common misconception in a thought-provoking episode. Many believe that a dramatic life event—like a DUI, job loss, or even a stint in jail—is needed to trigger the journey to sobriety. Tim argues otherwise, suggesting that waiting for such events can be more harmful than helpful.
Instead, he emphasizes the power of discovering your 'why'—the personal reasons that drive you to quit drinking and start living a fulfilling, sober life. Through candid storytelling, Tim shares how unconditional love, particularly from his mother, played a crucial role in his recovery. He also debunks the idea of 'drawing lines in the sand', explaining how each crossed line only led him to set another, further out.
By focusing on your 'why' and removing the metaphorical rocks in your life, you can start your journey to sobriety without waiting for a catastrophic event. Tune in to this episode to explore how finding your motivation can be the key to lasting sobriety and happiness.
