In this episode of My Sober Addiction, Matt Stevens dives into the significance of breaking patterns to aid in addiction recovery. He explores how, during active addiction, many of us became slaves to rituals, creating entire routines around our substance use. Now that we're living sober, we might still cling to some of these habits, from the routes we drive to work to our routines at home.
Matt shares his mantra, 'I am now happy, healthy, wealthy, and free', encouraging everyone to adopt positive affirmations in their daily lives. He also touches on his memoir-writing journey and how reliving past experiences can trigger mild withdrawal symptoms, highlighting the mental aspect of addiction. Matt's authenticity shines through as he discusses the importance of staying genuine in recovery and how addicts have a strong radar for insincerity.
He emphasises the need to keep the momentum going after getting sober, suggesting practical ways to break patterns and throw reality a curveball, such as changing your daily routine or taking spontaneous trips. By doing so, you can keep life interesting and avoid falling back into old habits. This episode is packed with valuable insights and practical advice for anyone on their sobriety journey.
