But again, you know, going back to the drinking stuff, one of the things we know is one of the best thing about this map is that we have a place to bring it right.
How do you handle the waves of emotions that come with recovery? In this heartfelt episode of the 'Sober Friends' podcast, Matt and Steve open up about the emotional rollercoaster that often accompanies sobriety. They dive into a deeply personal story involving Matt's daughter Annelyse and her beloved horse, Holden. Holden's passing brought a flood of emotions for Annelyse, who battles significant anxiety, and for Matt, who was reminded of the intense feelings he experienced when he first got sober.
The story of Holden serves as a touching metaphor for the unexpected and overwhelming emotions that can surface during recovery. The hosts discuss how animals can play a crucial role in emotional healing, providing comfort and stability in turbulent times. They also tackle the tough subject of suppressed emotions and how they can unexpectedly resurface, emphasizing the importance of having a solid support system.
Making difficult decisions, especially those involving end-of-life scenarios, requires a clear mind—a challenge when you're dealing with grief and loss. Matt and Steve share their thoughts on the importance of spirituality and seeking a higher power as ongoing parts of their recovery journey. This episode is a poignant reminder that feeling deeply is part of the healing process. It underscores the necessity of support systems, whether through friends, family, or spiritual guidance.
Tune in to hear how Matt and Steve navigate these complex emotions and find solace in their shared experiences.
