The biggest fear I commonly hear about from clients is you're telling me all the issues that you're having with drugs, with alcohol, how it's absolutely destroyed your life, and yet you want to already come up with excuses as to why and how you're not going to identify with the people that are at our center.
Why do some people struggle to take that first step towards sobriety? In this eye-opening episode of 'Real Recovery Talk', host Tom Conrad, a seasoned recovering alcoholic and drug addict, tackles the myths and fears that often keep individuals from seeking help. Tom dives into the most common excuses people use to avoid getting sober and breaks them down one by one. He shares personal stories and insights that shed light on the real issues at play.
One of the biggest hurdles? The fear of withdrawal. Tom doesn't shy away from discussing the intense first days of detox and offers practical tips to make the process more bearable. He also talks about how the type, frequency, and combination of substances can affect the withdrawal experience. This episode isn't just for those struggling with addiction; it's also for loved ones who might be unknowingly enabling these excuses.
Tom emphasizes the crucial role of a supportive community in overcoming these barriers. If you're looking for honest, relatable advice on how to move past the excuses and start your journey to sobriety, this episode is a must-listen.
