Until you can get that wake up call, until you can look at yourself in the mirror and be like: I really don't want to do this anymore and I'm willing to do whatever it takes. You're going to feel shittier than you did before and then you're going to start doing it all over again anyway.
Imagine hitting a major milestone in your recovery journey and taking a moment to look back at all the twists and turns. That's exactly what Corey Winfield does in this episode of the 217 Recovery Podcast. Celebrating four years of sobriety, Corey opens up about the highs and lows he's faced, offering a candid glimpse into his ongoing battle with addiction.
Joined by his wife Marney, Corey dives into how life has changed, the goals he's set, and the challenges that come with staying sober. He doesn't shy away from discussing the impact of addiction on relationships, sharing personal stories that are both heart-wrenching and hopeful. Corey also touches on his experience with COVID-19 and how it tested his resolve, adding another layer to his recovery story.
A key takeaway from this episode is the importance of setting goals and having aspirations. Corey emphasizes that sobriety isn't just about avoiding alcohol; it's about pursuing dreams and living a fulfilling life. He acknowledges that bad days and stressors are part of the journey but insists these are just 'sober people problems' and not reasons to relapse.
Corey shares an eye-opening moment when he was kicked out of his sober living home, which he now sees as a pivotal point in his recovery. He encourages listeners to let go of the thought of drinking and be willing to do whatever it takes to stay sober. The episode wraps up with a reminder of the importance of community. Corey and Marney highlight the benefits of their recovery app, urging listeners to stay connected and supportive of one another.
