We need to be around people that have gone through what we have gone through, that have gotten to the other side and have a message to share with ourselves about this whole sobriety thing.
How do you make sobriety stick for the long haul? Tom Conrad, host of Real Recovery Talk, tackles this question head-on in episode 85. With nine years of sobriety under his belt, Tom knows a thing or two about staying clean and shares his top three strategies for maintaining long-term recovery. First up, Tom emphasizes the power of community. He believes that surrounding yourself with people who understand your journey is crucial.
These are folks who’ve been through the same struggles and can offer invaluable support and wisdom. Think of it as building your own personal cheerleading squad who genuinely get what you're going through. Next, Tom warns against the dangers of rushing the recovery process. It's tempting to want quick fixes, but true recovery takes time. He advises taking things at your own pace and really understanding the steps your sponsor recommends.
This patience can make a world of difference in how comfortable and sustainable your sobriety feels. Finally, Tom suggests exploring new hobbies and interests outside of recovery. Engaging in new activities not only broadens your horizons but also helps you meet new people and create positive experiences that don’t revolve around addiction. It’s about rediscovering joy in everyday life. Throughout the episode, Tom also touches on the importance of resilience during tough times.
He encourages listeners to lean on their support network when things get rough, reminding them that it's okay to ask for help and that they’re not alone in their journey. Tune in to hear more about these strategies and how they can help you or a loved one maintain a sober lifestyle. Whether you're new to recovery or have been sober for years, Tom's insights offer practical advice and heartfelt encouragement.
