It's the goal for me. And I don't think about it as the goal. I don't think about how I get there because I truly believe that we work a day at a time program. I always like to say, if you want to see how my program is going, the best person to check with is my wife.
Ever wondered about the ultimate goal of recovery? In this deeply reflective episode, hosts Steve and John from the 'Sober Friends' podcast tackle the poignant topic of dying sober. They share the story of their friend Scott L., who recently passed away after battling lung cancer but managed to maintain five years of sobriety. Through heartfelt anecdotes and raw honesty, they explore what it means to reach life's end without relapsing.
This episode isn't just about Scott's journey; it's a broader conversation about the significance of living each day authentically and the legacy one leaves behind in the recovery community. Steve and John discuss their personal views on seeing 'died sober' in an obituary and what it symbolizes for those in recovery. They ponder whether this is the ultimate goal or if living 'One Day at a Time' holds more value.
If you're grappling with your own recovery journey or supporting someone who is, this episode offers a touching narrative that might just shift your perspective. It's a reminder that sobriety is not just about staying clean today but also about the lasting impact it can have on your life and those around you.
