Identifying your motivations for sobriety will be an absolute game changer for staying accountable.
Ever tried Dry January or Sober October only to find yourself sipping cocktails at a party within a week? You're not alone. In this episode of 'Done with Debauchery', hosts Dennise and Keisha tackle the crucial topic of knowing your 'why' when it comes to sobriety. They dive into the differences between intrinsic and extrinsic motivation, emphasizing why the former can be a game changer in your journey to stay sober.
Dennise and Keisha share their own stories of substance use and the motivations that have helped them stay on track. Intrinsic motivation, which comes from within, is highlighted as a powerful tool for maintaining sobriety. Unlike extrinsic motivation, which relies on external rewards or punishments, intrinsic motivation taps into your core values and personal goals. The hosts stress the importance of accountability and offer practical tools to help you stay sober.
Keisha suggests focusing on what you need rather than what you want, even if it means skipping social events. She underscores the importance of being accountable to yourself and understanding why you drink or use substances in the first place. Dennise recommends creating voice notes or videos to remind yourself of the joys you get from activities that align with your long-term goals. This episode offers valuable insights and relatable reflections that can inspire anyone on a sobriety journey.
You'll come away with a deeper understanding of your own motivations and practical tools to help you stay accountable. Tune in and discover how knowing your 'why' can transform your path to sobriety.
