Episode Overview
Reflect on your past year to assess personal growth. Stay honest with yourself about your sobriety journey. Seek new support groups if you're feeling stuck. Recognise and address temptations during medical situations. Share your recovery stories to inspire others.
If anybody says they’re 100% honest, all right, you’re lying, okay, unless you can prove it.
In this reflective episode of Clean and Sober Radio, hosts Gary Hendler and Mark Sigmund are joined by their long-time friend Linda E. to look back on the past year. The trio dives into the important questions of sobriety: Did we stay sober? Were we honest and kind to others? Did we act responsibly? This conversation isn't just about self-assessment; it's about growth and learning from our experiences.
Linda shares her personal journey of recognising when she was getting cranky and short-tempered, leading her to find a new home group and sponsor. Her candid reflections remind us that it's okay to seek help and make changes when needed. The episode also touches on the challenges of dealing with medical situations without falling back into old habits, as Gary recounts his knee surgery and the temptation of pain medication.
With light-hearted banter and heartfelt discussions, this episode offers a mix of humour and sincerity, making it a relatable and engaging listen for anyone on the path to recovery. Don't miss out on this chance to reflect on your own journey and find inspiration in the shared stories of recovery.
