I think, when we trust the other person that what they're saying is something that we can resonate with and say, okay, I trust them, let me do what they say.
Ever wondered how a simple suggestion can change your path to recovery? In this episode of 'Sober Sisters Talk', hosts Elizabeth Pudwill and M.G. dive into the transformative power of taking suggestions. These two seasoned voices in sobriety share personal stories and hard-earned wisdom about how embracing advice has helped them navigate their own journeys. Elizabeth and M.G. kick things off by discussing the importance of trusting the source of a suggestion.
Whether it's a sponsor, a sober friend, or a therapist, they stress that trust is crucial. When you believe in the person giving the advice, you're more likely to take it seriously and put it into action. One memorable anecdote comes from M.G., who started walking 30 minutes a day on a friend's suggestion. Initially skeptical, she persisted and eventually turned it into a beneficial habit.
This story highlights a key takeaway: sometimes, sticking with a new habit takes time and patience, but the rewards are worth it. The episode also tackles the common roadblocks of ego and closed-mindedness. Our own stubbornness can often get in the way of accepting help. Elizabeth and M.G. candidly discuss how overcoming these mental barriers has been essential in their recovery.
They encourage listeners to be honest with themselves about what isn't working and to remain open to trying new approaches. Finally, the hosts share practical tips for making suggestions work for you. From setting achievable goals to recognizing when your own thinking is flawed, their advice is both relatable and actionable. If you're looking for real talk about sobriety with a dash of humor and a lot of heart, this episode is a must-listen.
