Our program is kind of like gardening. Have you ever tried to plant something in soil that is untilled? It's hard as rock, unyielding, barren. Nothing can take root and grow. That was not only my mind, but probably my soul and my heart as well. You have to break that bedrock wide open, rip out some of those old roots, till and fertilize. Then you can plant. Then the real work begins.
Ever felt like you were your own worst enemy on the road to recovery? In this episode of '2 Sober Chicks' A Shotglass of Recovery, Lisa reflects on her early days in AA, recalling her stubbornness and closed-mindedness. She shares how, against all odds, she developed crucial traits like honesty, open-mindedness, and willingness—traits she believes anyone can cultivate for a successful recovery.
Using a gardening metaphor, Lisa describes the transformation process as breaking old roots and tilling the soil of the mind and heart. This preparation allows new ideas and a new life in sobriety to take root. She emphasizes the importance of seeking support, connecting with others in the program, and turning to spirituality rather than alcohol. Lisa's story is a testament to the miracles that can happen when you choose a different path.
She encourages listeners to attend a meeting or reach out to a sober friend who embodies the life they aspire to, rather than reaching for the bottle. If you're struggling with recovery or supporting someone who is, this episode offers a blend of empathy, practical advice, and inspiration.
