When we consider the word normal and set it side-by-side with the word sober, they really seem to go hand-in-hand.
Ever thought about what 'normal' means when you're on the path to recovery? In this episode of The Recovery Guy Podcast, Robert Pardon dives into the often misunderstood concept of normalcy for those battling addiction. He tackles the common misconception that being 'normal' involves drinking like everyone else. Instead, Robert flips the script, suggesting that sobriety itself can be the new normal, embodying moderation, seriousness, and a grounded approach to life.
Sobriety, he argues, is more than just quitting alcohol—it's a comprehensive lifestyle change. It involves engaging in a structured recovery program, maintaining close ties with a sponsor, and participating in service work. Through his own experiences, Robert highlights the importance of learning actively rather than passively receiving advice. His journey towards embracing sobriety as his normal offers a compelling perspective on how this shift can lead to a more fulfilling life.
If you're curious about how to make sobriety your new normal, this episode is packed with insights and practical advice that could be a game-changer for your recovery journey.
