If you stick to your plan and if you literally do your recovery, it is incredible what unfolds and you too can be sitting at your third birthday with somebody singing happy birthday in the weirdest way to Kevin.
Turning three years sober is no small feat, and in this episode of 'Sobriety Elevated', Kevin Thole opens up about his transformative journey. Alongside co-host Jim Pehkonen and his wife Rachel, Kevin shares the highs, lows, and everything in between that have marked his path to sobriety. The episode is a blend of humor, heartfelt reflections, and invaluable advice for anyone navigating their own recovery journey. One of the key themes is gratitude.
Kevin emphasizes how his gratitude for his wife, family, friends, and business partners—who are all in recovery themselves—has played a crucial role in his success. He talks about the daily practice of 'doing the next right thing' and surrendering to a higher power as cornerstones of his recovery. The conversation also touches on the concept of 'choosing your hard'.
Kevin candidly discusses how both addiction and marriage come with their own sets of challenges, but it's essential to choose the difficulties that lead to growth and fulfillment. Surrounding yourself with supportive people is another vital piece of advice Kevin offers. He shares how his community has been a bedrock for him, providing the encouragement and accountability needed to stay on track.
A particularly poignant moment in the episode is when Kevin talks about the significance of a mustard seed in his recovery. He wears a bracelet featuring mountains and a tiny mustard seed to symbolize his faith that everything will be okay, no matter how daunting the journey might seem. This episode is a treasure trove of inspiration and practical wisdom for anyone committed to sobriety.
Kevin's story is a powerful reminder that with the right mindset and support system, incredible things are possible.
