I think it's an important part of long-term sobriety, quite honestly, and the people who make this idea that it's us and them.
Ever wondered how to maintain sobriety for nearly two decades? Meet Bryant S from Asheville, NC, who has been clean and sober since November 2002. In this episode of 'Seasons of Sobriety', host Howard M. dives into Bryant's journey, shedding light on the tools and support systems that have helped him stay the course. One standout aspect of Bryant's story is his reliance on an Al-Anon sponsor and the program itself.
This connection has been a cornerstone of his recovery, providing guidance and accountability. Bryant's insights into the importance of finding a sponsor and a program that truly resonates with you are invaluable for anyone on a similar path. But the conversation doesn't stop there. Bryant opens up about the broader challenges faced by those in recovery, especially when it comes to avoiding complacency.
He stresses the need for continuous commitment to recovery principles and practices, no matter how long you've been sober. His candid reflections on overcoming addiction, divorce, and mental health struggles offer a real-world perspective on the ups and downs of long-term sobriety. Another compelling part of this episode is Bryant's advocacy for better recovery resources. He shares his efforts to bring a halfway house or recovery program to Madison County, North Carolina, highlighting the legal and bureaucratic hurdles involved.
His story underscores the need for more accessible and inclusive recovery resources that cater to diverse needs and backgrounds. Through Bryant's experiences, listeners gain a deeper understanding of the importance of building a supportive network in recovery—one that fosters inclusivity, diversity, and advocacy. This episode is a must-listen for anyone seeking inspiration and practical advice on maintaining long-term sobriety.
