Muscle memory is where we repeat an action so often that it becomes part of our memory without us having to even think about it, such as swimming and riding a bike. Habits and addictions all also become part of our muscle memory.
Ever wondered how your past experiences shape your present habits? In this episode of the Sobertown Podcast, Corinna dives into the fascinating connection between our experiences, muscle memory, and habits in the journey of addiction recovery. She believes that everything we go through molds us into who we are today, and our coping strategies become second nature, much like muscle memory. Some of these habits help us, while others can be detrimental, especially when it comes to alcohol.
Corinna emphasizes that positive recovery isn't just about quitting drinking; it's about transforming yourself into the best version you can be. She shares practical tips on how to replace old drinking habits with new, healthier ones—think hobbies, projects, or even enjoying a fancy tonic water. Corinna also highlights the importance of community support and accountability, recommending groups like the I Am Sober community. She stresses the need to retrain our brains and rethink our default coping mechanisms.
Alcohol may seem like a shield, but in reality, it often causes more harm than good. Planning and preparation are key to a successful recovery, and Corinna encourages listeners to focus on what they can control and trust the process for the rest. Tune in to this inspiring episode for a fresh perspective on how experience and habits can pave the way to a brighter, sober future.
