If you struggle and resist and try to control and create the outcome, you don't get the message. If you didn't get it, you learned what not to do. - Sober Friends Podcast
Change is never easy, especially when you're on the path to recovery. In this engaging episode of 'Sober Friends', hosts Matt, John, and Steve tackle the tricky topic of navigating life's transitions while staying sober. Drawing from their own experiences, they delve into the anxiety and fear that often accompany change, particularly in the workplace. Matt shares a personal story about a major shift at his job that left him fearing for his future.
Spoiler alert: he made it through, but it got him and John thinking about how change impacts those in recovery. As they chat, the hosts highlight the struggle many alcoholics face with wanting to control everything around them. Wouldn't life be perfect if everyone just did what we wanted? Matt argues that while we can control our own emotions and actions, everything else is out of our hands.
John, on the other hand, believes that control is an illusion and that a higher power is really in charge. This episode is packed with wisdom on accepting what we can and can't change. The hosts emphasize the importance of living in the moment and finding comfort in uncertainty. They also touch on managing character defects and the crucial role of sponsorship and fellowship in guiding us through tough times.
Whether you're new to recovery or have been sober for years, this episode offers valuable insights and inspiration for embracing change and finding serenity. Tune in to hear Matt, John, and Steve's heartfelt conversation about accepting life's ups and downs and discovering the peace that comes with letting go.
