Mike and Glenn, the dynamic duo of the Sober.Coffee Podcast, are back with an episode titled 'Befuddled No More'. This week, they dive into the journey from confusion to clarity in sobriety. They share personal stories and reflections that many on the path to recovery will find relatable and encouraging. The episode kicks off with a light-hearted banter about the word 'befuddled', setting a friendly and approachable tone.
But it quickly transitions into deeper waters as they discuss the challenges and triumphs of staying sober, especially when life throws curveballs. Glenn shares a poignant story about a community member facing a tough situation with his wife's illness, prompting a discussion on how such events impact sobriety. Mike and Glenn's candid conversation is peppered with humour, but it never shies away from the hard truths.
They talk about the importance of having a solid foundation of daily practices to maintain sobriety. Glenn mentions his '25 tools' that he relies on to stay sober, which include everything from attending meetings to spiritual retreats. Mike adds his perspective, emphasising the need to be present and not let life's hardships blur the experience of sobriety.
One of the standout moments is when Glenn talks about his annual 'tapestry review', a time he sets aside every September to reflect on his life and accomplishments. This practice has helped him see the beauty in his journey, even when it felt like he was making little progress. It's a touching reminder that sometimes we need to step back and look at the bigger picture to appreciate how far we've come.
The episode is not just about sharing experiences but also about offering practical advice. Mike and Glenn discuss how to handle high-stress situations without resorting to alcohol and the importance of having a support system. They remind you that it's okay to ask for help and that staying sober is a journey filled with ups and downs.
Whether you're new to sobriety or have been on this path for years, 'Befuddled No More' offers a blend of humour, wisdom, and heartfelt advice that will leave you feeling inspired and hopeful. So grab a cup of coffee, sit back, and join Mike and Glenn as they navigate the complexities of sober living.
