From No to Yes: Embracing Sobriety with JJ Chance

It's one thing to be in denial about being an addict or an alcoholic, but it's quite another to try to get out of addiction by using yet more denial. Don't do this, don't do that. Don't do something else. I mean if my only solution to addiction was even greater denial with no positives, it's no wonder that I got progressively worse, isn't it?
Ever wondered how swapping 'don'ts' for 'do's' can change your life? In this episode of 'Next Time I'll Try Knitting', JJ Chance opens up about his path from addiction to sobriety. He reflects on how his life was once dominated by a long list of 'don'ts'—rules he used to navigate his drinking habits. But the real transformation began when he started embracing the 'do's'.
By taking positive actions, listening to others, and facing uncomfortable truths, JJ found a way to move forward. He also touches on the role of denial in addiction and how it can block progress. Throughout the episode, JJ shares valuable resources like Alcoholics Anonymous, Narcotics Anonymous, and Smart Recovery, offering listeners practical tools for their own journeys. If you're looking for a raw, honest take on recovery with a sprinkle of humor, this episode is a must-listen.
