The interesting thing is with me at this point. I don't ever want it to seem like somehow it's easy for me just because you can put out a number of years out there, like I can say years, and I'm here now and I didn't relapse or whatever. You know, time is a marker of success, of reprieve, right, it's a daily reprieve, but you don't want it just to be fleeting, right, you want to be able to string together some you know, and be effective, not just at your sobriety and recovery, but that's what allows you to be effective at life.
Ever felt like you’re playing catch-up in your recovery journey? In this episode of 'Since Right Now', Jeff, Matt, and Chris dive into the tricky terrain of sobriety with a blend of humor and raw honesty. The trio starts by untangling the often confusing concepts of relapse versus slip, showing how different perspectives can shape our understanding and approach to these setbacks.
They then delve into the world of second-stage recovery, a phase that can feel like uncharted territory after the initial rush of getting sober has passed. Here, the importance of rigorous honesty is highlighted as a cornerstone for maintaining sobriety and personal growth. But it's not all heavy lifting; the hosts sprinkle in their unique coping strategies for managing expectations and celebrating milestones, making the journey feel a bit more manageable.
A particularly poignant segment covers the challenging yet rewarding process of making amends, underscoring how this step can be a powerful tool for healing and moving forward. The role of fellowship and volunteering is also explored, revealing how these connections can provide a solid support system. The episode wraps up with a discussion on the concept of a daily reprieve, offering practical advice on staying present and focused in your recovery efforts.
If you’re looking for a candid, supportive conversation that doesn’t shy away from the tough stuff but also knows when to lighten the mood, this episode is for you.
