You do not need to hit rock bottom, quote unquote, to get sober. A lot of people say that you need to hit rock bottom. You need to experience extreme amounts of pain in order to get sober. And I don't necessarily believe that.
Picture this: You're struggling with addiction, and everywhere you turn, people tell you that you have to hit 'rock bottom' before you can start climbing back up. But what if that’s not true? In this episode of 'The Sober Plug', Connor Duffy takes a hammer to this myth. He argues that while pain is a common thread in the journey to sobriety, it doesn’t mean you have to reach an extreme low point to make a change.
Connor dives into how discomfort and the need for transformation can be powerful catalysts for recovery. He makes it clear that everyone's 'bottom' looks different and that the crucial factor is recognizing pain and wanting to change. If you're wrestling with the idea that you need to hit rock bottom or questioning your own experience, this episode offers a fresh perspective and much-needed reassurance. Connor also opens the door for personal support, inviting listeners to reach out directly for guidance.
Tune in for an enlightening discussion that challenges conventional wisdom and encourages you to embrace change on your own terms.
