I've never been 80 years of age before. And when I look ahead, I would joke about it with my girlfriends and stuff. I don't have to buy many more calendars.
Tommy Rosen's 'In The Circle' podcast brings you an episode that dives deep into what conscious recovery looks like as we age. In this heartfelt conversation, Tommy is joined by Linda, an inspiring elder with 30 years of sobriety under her belt. Linda, at 80 years old, shares her journey and the questions she faces about living the final chapters of her life with dignity and purpose.
Her reflections are not just about age but the wisdom and humility gained through years of recovery. She candidly discusses her fears, hopes, and the constant quest for gratitude and presence in each moment. Tommy and Linda explore the idea that the lessons of recovery remain consistent regardless of age—being present, embracing gratitude, and recognising the perfection in our journey. They discuss the importance of moving from a mindset of regret to one of acceptance and joy.
Linda's story is a testament to the power of recovery at any age and offers valuable insights for anyone on a similar path. This episode is a beautiful reminder that the journey of recovery is ongoing and that every stage of life brings new opportunities for growth and fulfilment. Whether you're in recovery yourself or supporting someone who is, Linda's wisdom and Tommy's guidance provide a comforting and hopeful perspective on aging and sobriety. Why should you listen?
Because Linda's story will inspire you to embrace your own journey with gratitude and curiosity, no matter where you are on the path. Her experience shows that it's never too late to find peace and purpose in recovery. So, grab a cup of tea, sit back, and let this episode fill your heart with hope and wisdom.
