Surround yourself with winners and big influencers... Sobriety is like being a boxer, you only get better by listening to the people that not only have been there but see it from a different perspective than you're seeing.
What if you could arm yourself with the tools to prevent relapse and maintain your sobriety? In this episode of 'Flying Sober', hosts Rachel and Jonathan tackle this crucial topic head-on. They share practical advice and personal anecdotes, making the journey towards sobriety feel less daunting and more achievable. The duo emphasizes that recovery is about progression, not perfection. They discuss how alcohol can breed isolation, leading to feelings of loneliness, anxiety, and boredom.
To combat this, they suggest engaging in meetings—whether online or offline—and connecting with others who understand your struggles. Surrounding yourself with positive influences is another key point they highlight. Remember the saying, 'Show me who your friends are, and I'll tell you who you are'? It holds true in recovery as well. Rachel and Jonathan also delve into the importance of doing service, speaking at meetings, and finding joy in activities that make you happy.
They caution against letting relationships or external factors become your higher power, as this can lead to losing yourself and falling off the wagon. Instead, they advocate for working the 12 steps daily, practicing prayer and meditation, and living in the present moment with gratitude. This episode is packed with actionable tips and heartfelt encouragement, setting the stage for a deeper dive into relapse prevention in the upcoming parts.
Whether you're new to sobriety or have been on this path for a while, Rachel and Jonathan's insights will leave you feeling motivated and equipped to stay on track.
