Anxiety can alternate with feelings of well-being, boredom, rage, sadness and hilarity... We discover we're capable of accepting more from life than we ever thought we could.
Imagine you're in your first year of sobriety, and a celebration is around the corner. Instead of joy, you feel a wave of anxiety. In this episode of 'Recovery Road', host William C. Moyers introduces an excerpt from Guy Kettelhack's insightful book, *First-Year Sobriety: When All That Changes Is Everything*. Kettelhack dives into the often-overlooked topic of celebration anxiety during early recovery.
He explores why these moments, which are supposed to be joyous, can trigger unease and how to navigate these feelings without relying on old habits. The episode sheds light on the challenges that come with early sobriety, particularly when it comes to handling success and celebrations. It emphasizes the importance of community support and self-worth that isn't tied to external achievements.
If you've ever felt uneasy about celebrating milestones while staying sober, this episode offers practical advice and comforting insights to help you embrace these moments with confidence.
