I think the same thing goes with recovery and sobriety- is, if you think that you're not doing it good enough, as long as you're not drinking and you're making steps to have a better to make Today, better than Yesterday, yeah, then you're doing a great job.
Ever find yourself slipping into old habits and wondering how to get back on track? Jerry from 'A is for Alcoholic' knows the feeling all too well. In this episode, he opens up about his recent fitness slump and how it parallels the challenges of maintaining sobriety. Picture this: it's New Year's Eve, and while enjoying a charcuterie board with his brother-in-law, Jerry realizes they missed the countdown to midnight.
This moment of distraction serves as a metaphor for how easy it is to lose focus on what's important. Jerry dives into the necessity of taking an honest self-inventory and making course corrections, whether it's for Dry January or aiming to run that extra mile. He shares candidly about his past struggles with controlling food intake and how he's learning to find balance without being overly harsh on himself.
Sobriety, much like fitness, requires patience and a willingness to forgive oneself after setbacks. One of the key takeaways from Jerry's reflections is the importance of understanding your 'why'. Why do you want to stay sober? Why do you want to be fit? These questions are crucial for finding motivation and sticking to your goals. Jerry also talks about the role of patience in recovery and how defining success on your own terms can make a world of difference.
This episode is a heartfelt look at the ups and downs of self-improvement, offering a relatable perspective for anyone struggling with addiction or trying to get back on track in other areas of life. Tune in for a dose of honesty, encouragement, and practical advice from someone who's been there.
