I realised I was not living my best sober life. I was living the idea of what sobriety was supposed to look like based on others' opinions.
Have you ever felt lost in your sobriety journey, despite following all the advice you've been given? In this episode of The Sober and Happy Podcast, Tim shares his personal experience of navigating the tricky waters of recovery. With over a decade of sobriety under his belt, Tim opens up about the pitfalls of blindly following advice that doesn't resonate with your own instincts.
He recounts his early days in rehab and AA, where he was told to 'take the cotton out of his ears and put it in his mouth'. While this advice initially seemed helpful, it eventually led him to question parts of the program that didn't sit right with him. Tim dives into the importance of trusting your intuition and seeking advice from multiple sources, rather than just one.
He talks about how he started to listen to his heart and make decisions that felt right for him, even if they went against the traditional advice given in AA. This episode is a must-listen for anyone who feels stuck in their recovery journey and is looking for a more personalised approach to sobriety. Tim's candid reflections and practical tips offer a fresh perspective on how to live a fulfilling sober life.
So, if you're ready to take control of your own recovery journey and start living authentically, this episode is for you. Remember, it's okay to make mistakes along the way—what's important is that you keep moving forward and stay true to yourself.
