I do the best I can with what I got.
Ever had one of those days where everything just seems to go wrong? Well, in this episode of the 'Recovery is F’N Awesome Podcast', host Mike Robinius, affectionately known as Robo, shares his candid reflections on navigating the daily challenges of sobriety. With nearly 14 years of sobriety under his belt, Robo opens up about his struggles with anger, frustration, and the importance of recognising and addressing these emotions in a healthy way.
He talks about the adrenaline rush that comes with anger and how he manages to pull himself back from the brink with the help of supportive friends and colleagues. Robo’s honesty is both refreshing and relatable, as he admits that even after all these years, he still has moments where he lets people get to him. He also shares a powerful passage from Dr.
Thurman Fleet’s book 'Rays of the Dawn', which discusses the paralyzing effects of fear and how it can disrupt our mental and physical well-being. Robo's message is clear: recovery is a continuous journey of self-improvement, and it's okay to have bad days as long as you keep striving to be better. If you're looking for a raw and honest take on the daily ups and downs of sobriety, this episode is a must-listen.
Robo's experiences and reflections offer valuable insights and encouragement for anyone on their own recovery journey.
