Bats & Feathers: Rich M.'s Sobriety Struggles and Self-Forgiveness

I am highly, highly embarrassed because I made a complete Fargan-ass out of myself last night and I don't really know what I thought was gonna happen after.
Ever feel like you're stuck in a cycle of trying to get sober, slipping up, and starting all over again? Rich M. knows that feeling all too well. In this episode of 'Getting Sober Again', he lays bare his ongoing battle with substance use disorder. Rich opens up about the times he fell off the wagon and how he’s trying to climb back on, one day at a time.
It's raw, it's real, and it might just be the dose of honesty you need to hear today. Rich uses a powerful metaphor of putting the bat away and pulling out the feather to remind us all to treat ourselves with kindness and self-forgiveness. He shares an embarrassing personal story that many will find relatable, showing that even in our lowest moments, there's room for grace and growth.
His message is clear: beating yourself up won't help, but being gentle with yourself will. This episode isn't just for those battling addiction; it's for anyone who feels alone in their struggles. Rich makes it clear that seeking help is a sign of strength, not weakness. He provides temporary contact information for those who need immediate support and emphasizes the importance of community in the recovery process.
So if you're feeling isolated or defeated, tune in to hear Rich's heartfelt words. His journey is a testament to resilience and the power of taking things one day at a time. Remember, you don't have to go through this alone. Seek help, be kind to yourself, and keep moving forward.
