Learning how to shut up- hard for me, hard for all of us, and think about what I was about to say... So learning to do that, and then, when I got to the tenth step, Annabelle said: I want you to pay attention, don't just come to me and say I had to make amends to so-and-so why, what kind of an amend? Usually it hurts our way of life, and when I see myself as a sober woman, it doesn't include hurting other people.
What does it mean to achieve emotional sobriety? In this heartfelt episode of The Phoenix Project, host Melissa sits down with the remarkable Mary G, who at 92 years old, has 41 years of sobriety under her belt. Mary’s journey is a testament to the power of honesty, resilience, and the importance of taking responsibility for one's actions. Her story is not just about overcoming addiction but about finding true freedom from emotional turmoil.
Mary shares candidly about the struggles she faced and the steps she took to maintain her sobriety. She emphasizes the crucial role of honesty in her recovery process. It wasn't easy for her to be truthful with herself and others, but she discovered that honesty was key to finding real freedom. Mary also discusses the significance of making amends and working to repair relationships damaged by addiction. This process, she notes, requires time, effort, and a sincere willingness to change.
A significant part of Mary’s story is her belief in a higher power. She explains how faith and trust in something greater than herself have provided her with strength and hope during challenging times. Through prayer and meditation, she found a sense of peace and resilience that helped her navigate her journey. Mary’s concept of emotional sobriety involves being free from the emotional chaos that often accompanies addiction.
She talks about challenging negative thought patterns and letting go of resentment and anger. Achieving emotional sobriety, she says, is a gradual process that demands commitment and continuous effort. This episode is filled with practical insights and inspiring moments. Mary’s wisdom reminds us of the power of sharing our stories and connecting with others on similar paths. Her journey underscores the importance of forgiveness, letting go, and taking responsibility for our own thoughts and actions.
