Where your focus goes, your energy flows
Shifting your focus from alcohol to living life is the theme of this episode of The Sober and Happy Podcast. Host Tim Phillips shares his journey of over a decade of sobriety, exploring how he moved from merely avoiding alcohol to embracing a fulfilling, alcohol-free life. Tim recounts his struggles with constant anxiety about relapse, despite his outward success in recovery.
His turning point came at a Tony Robbins event, where he learned the powerful lesson: 'Where your focus goes, your energy flows'. This idea helped him realise that obsessing over not drinking was just as consuming as obsessing over drinking. By shifting his focus to living a fulfilling life, Tim found new hobbies, deepened relationships, and set meaningful goals. He highlights the importance of not just avoiding alcohol but actively pursuing a life that brings joy and purpose.
Tim also discusses the benefits of this shift, such as improved mental and emotional health, and the confidence to handle social situations where alcohol is present. He encourages listeners to stop living in fear of relapse and start focusing on the possibilities that sobriety brings. Tim's personal anecdotes and practical advice make this episode a must-listen for anyone looking to transform their approach to sobriety.
