Jonathan's Journey: Action, Relapse Prevention, and Sobriety Insights

When you're in enough pain, you'll allow god to remove it.
What does it mean to truly get into action when it comes to sobriety? In this episode of 'Flying Sober', Rachel and Jonathan dive deep into the nuts and bolts of relapse prevention. Jonathan shares his personal journey, emphasizing the power of taking proactive steps and the mantra, 'a problem shared is a problem solved'. It's not just about staying sober; it's about thriving in sobriety by addressing issues head-on and fostering honest communication with sponsors and peers.
The duo also introduces their exciting new venture, the 12 Step Series, designed to be a universal workshop accessible to everyone. This initiative aims to support mental growth and help individuals build meaningful, lasting relationships. Jonathan candidly discusses his own experiences with relapse, describing it as a temporary lapse rather than a failure. He underscores the importance of reworking the steps and being transparent with one's sponsor.
Rachel and Jonathan both highlight the beauty of sobriety, likening it to untangling a necklace - sometimes, it's easier with a little help from others. They encourage listeners to step out of their comfort zones and embrace new experiences in their journey to recovery. Tune in for a blend of personal anecdotes, practical advice, and heartfelt encouragement. Whether you're navigating your own path to sobriety or supporting someone else, this episode offers valuable insights and inspiration.
