In order to get and stay sober, we have to be willing to do that inner work which will not only keep us sober but protect us from relapse caused by triggers, because we will know what those triggers are, how to work through them, how to grieve them, how to stop recreating them and how to avoid them.
Imagine living a life free from the grip of alcohol or drugs. In this episode of 'Genuine Life Recovery', Jodie Stevens opens up about her 16-year journey of sobriety and shares the five crucial steps that have kept her and her husband sober for nearly two decades. These steps aren't just theoretical; they are practical actions grounded in personal experience and proven success. First, Jodie tackles the tough but necessary task of admitting you have a problem.
Denial might feel like a shield, but it only delays the help you need. She emphasizes that recognizing your addiction is the first step toward recovery. Next, she talks about the importance of asking for help. It’s not always easy, especially when family dynamics make it hard to reach out. But building a support network is vital. Connecting with others who understand your struggles can provide the accountability and encouragement you need. Self-care is another cornerstone of Jodie’s advice.
She highlights how taking care of yourself physically, emotionally, and spiritually can create a solid foundation for sobriety. Developing healthy habits and routines can make a world of difference in your recovery journey. Jodie also dives into the importance of addressing the root causes of addiction. Whether it’s stress or childhood trauma, understanding and healing these underlying issues can prevent relapse and pave the way for lasting sobriety. Finally, she shares the power of practicing gratitude.
By focusing on the positive aspects of life, you can shift away from negative thoughts and emotions, helping you stay committed to your recovery. This episode is packed with heartfelt guidance and actionable steps that can help anyone on their journey to sobriety. Tune in to hear Jodie’s inspiring story and learn how these five steps can help you or a loved one break free from addiction.
