Shifting Your Perception of Time in Sobriety with Sober Militia

Remember, we have a choice in how we experience our time served, whether it is in life, our job, our relationship, the dentist's office or sobriety. We can change how we experience time and therefore how we experience these events.
Time can feel like an enemy or a friend when you're on the path to sobriety. In this episode of 'Sober Militia', host J.W. Collier takes a deep dive into how our perception of time can shape our recovery journey. Ever felt like counting days was more of a burden than a motivation? You're not alone. Collier shares his own experiences with the ticking clock and offers a fresh perspective on how to approach each day sober.
He challenges the conventional wisdom of marking off days and instead suggests living each day fully, focusing on the present rather than dwelling on the past or stressing about the future. It's about transforming 'time served' into 'time lived'. Collier's empathetic and practical advice encourages listeners to find their unique path in sobriety, recognizing that what works for one person might not work for another.
He touches on object permanence and how it plays into our daily lives, reminding us that our journey is personal and should be tailored to fit our own needs. If you've ever struggled with the concept of time in your recovery, this episode offers valuable insights and a new way to think about your sober days. It's not just about surviving without alcohol; it's about thriving in your new life.
Tune in for an engaging discussion that might just change how you see your journey.
