When it comes to staying sober, it's good enough in a tight spot if I've got other tools of sobriety to go along with it. But if that's all I've got, there's going to be a point where I say: fuck it and hit the addiction button again.
Ever wondered if relying on your past memories of addiction could help keep you sober? In this thought-provoking episode of 'Next Time I'll Try Knitting', host JJ Chance takes a deep dive into how our recollections can influence our journey to sobriety. JJ, a recovering alcoholic, opens up about the double-edged sword of memory—how it can be both a motivator and a potential pitfall in the quest for a sober life.
Through candid personal stories, JJ explores the isolating nature of addiction and the unreliable aspects of memory that can lead to relapse. Rather than depending solely on past experiences, JJ advocates for a multi-faceted approach to recovery. You'll hear about the importance of community support, practical strategies, and yes, even hobbies like knitting, as vital tools in maintaining long-term sobriety. This episode isn't just for those in recovery; it's for anyone curious about the complex relationship between memory and addiction.
So grab your knitting needles (or not) and tune in for an engaging discussion that sheds light on the intricate dance between our past and our present in the fight to stay sober.
