At The End Of The Day, I think you end up becoming a completely different person than you would have become had you continued using and drinking.
Ever wondered what it truly takes to get sober and stay that way? In this episode of 'Since Right Now', Jeff, Matt, and Chris dive deep into the complexities of recovery. They don't sugarcoat the challenges—expect candid discussions about triggers, rehab, and the ups and downs of staying sober. Chris makes a striking point: 'You end up becoming a completely different person than you would have become had you continued using and drinking'.
This transformation isn't easy and requires stepping out of your comfort zone. The trio emphasizes the importance of enthusiasm in recovery. Jeff notes, 'If you go into it without some modicum of enthusiasm, you're doomed'. It's this enthusiasm, paired with a minimum buy-in, that can set the stage for a successful recovery journey. Social settings can be a minefield for those trying to stay sober.
The hosts suggest alternative ways to cope with stress and anxiety, like diving into a good book, enjoying music, or watching comedy shows. Comedy, they agree, has been a lifeline in their own recovery journeys. Community support is another cornerstone they highlight, especially in the early stages of sobriety. They share their personal experiences, discussing the mental obsession that comes with addiction and the importance of finding your own path in recovery.
Alternative recovery pathways like Refuge Recovery and SMART Recovery also get a nod, showcasing the need for a more inclusive approach to overcoming addiction. This episode is packed with raw and honest insights that challenge stereotypes and stigmas surrounding addiction. It's a must-listen for anyone seeking inspiration and guidance on their own journey to reclaim their life.
