Living Life In Recovery: Embracing Change and Finding Joy

One of the things that I had the hardest time with, just in general, like kind of the main reason why I would drink and I would use, was because I couldn't accept life on life's terms.
Ever wondered what daily life looks like for someone in recovery? This episode of 'Addicts In Recovery' takes you on a heartfelt journey through the ups and downs of living sober. The hosts open up about their personal battles with addiction and the monumental task of accepting life on its own terms. They share how everything has to change in recovery, from letting go of old friends who still use, to building a new, supportive community.
But it's not all about struggle; there's plenty of joy to be found too. The hosts talk about discovering happiness in simple pleasures like watching a sunset or going for a hike. They emphasize that recovery isn't just about abstaining from substances—it's about finding fun and fulfillment in everyday life. A big part of this is establishing a routine and focusing on self-care, which can be as basic as getting enough sleep or eating well.
One of the most touching parts of the episode is when the hosts discuss the importance of being kind to yourself. Recovery is a journey, and it's crucial to keep an open mind and be willing to try new things. Whether you're in recovery yourself, supporting someone who is, or just curious about what it entails, this episode offers a raw and hopeful look at the challenges and rewards of living life in recovery.
