My emotions are in a mood with me. I'm actually giving my emotions emotions of their own.
Ever wondered who the dealer is when a bad mood sneaks into your otherwise sunny day? In this episode of 'Next Time I'll Try Knitting', JJ Chance gets candid about the emotional rollercoaster that comes with sobriety. With a mix of humour and raw honesty, JJ unpacks the challenge of dealing with emotions that feel like they're out to get you.
He paints a vivid picture of how avoiding these feelings can lead to a Jenga tower of stress, pushing one closer to old habits of drinking and drug use. But instead of succumbing, JJ shares his journey of facing these emotional visitors head-on, even if it means admitting that some days are tougher than others.

This episode is a must-listen for anyone navigating the choppy waters of addiction recovery and seeking a bit of humour along the way. Tune in for an honest, supportive, and occasionally whimsical take on living life sober and dealing with the emotional baggage that comes with it.
