Joey C. on Sobriety, Self-Conquest, and the Pink Cloud: Brutally Sober Ep. 8, Season 3

Without god, no real victory is ever won. The real victories are victories over sin and temptation.
Imagine sitting in your car at a grocery store parking lot, tuning into a raw and unfiltered conversation about sobriety and self-conquest. In this episode of 'Brutally Sober', Joey C. brings his candid thoughts straight to your ears. Joey dives into the complexities of sobriety, emphasizing the importance of conquering oneself. His unedited musings offer a refreshing take on addiction recovery, making you feel like you're right there with him, sharing in his journey.
He starts by discussing the role of witnessing and confession in maintaining sobriety. Joey believes that sharing at meetings isn't about giving advice or expecting to change someone’s life but rather about the anticipation of feeling better afterward. He opens up about his mixed feelings towards Alcoholics Anonymous, noting that while he finds value in it, there are aspects he doesn't quite agree with.
One of the most striking points Joey makes is about the 'pink cloud'—that euphoric feeling some people experience early in sobriety. He warns that while it feels great, it's important to be cautious because it can make you more vulnerable to relapse. Joey also touches on the different experiences people have when transitioning into sobriety, particularly those who didn't lose everything. He believes they might be more prone to going back out, as their stakes aren't as high.
Throughout the episode, Joey's honesty and raw reflections make for a compelling listen. He talks about anger management, daily meditations, and spirituality, all while sitting in his car. If you're looking for a podcast that gets real about the challenges and victories of sobriety, this episode of 'Brutally Sober' is a must-listen.
