Alex N.'s Path to Sober Living: One Day at a Time
I feel like a little wet and sober living, because this time around I was willing to do anything. I was ready to do anything I needed to, you know, because I didn't want to live that way.
Imagine waking up each day knowing you just need to stay sober for the next 24 hours. That’s the mantra Alex N. from Atlantic City, NJ, lives by, and in this episode of the Sober Solutions Podcast, he opens up about his journey to sober living. Alex shares his decision to move into a sober living house, an essential step on his road to recovery.
He explains how this environment offers a supervised yet independent atmosphere, helping him transition from the rehab bubble to real-world challenges. The hosts dive into the benefits of sober living and how it can provide a supportive community for those in recovery. One of the key takeaways from Alex's story is the importance of focusing on the present moment. His sponsor's advice to take sobriety one day at a time has made the process feel less overwhelming and more manageable.
Alex also touches on the concept of choosing one's own 'bottom'—for him, it was being kicked out of his parents' house and going to rehab. This episode is a reminder that recovery is a deeply personal journey, and there's no one-size-fits-all approach. Whether you're new to sobriety or have been on this path for a while, Alex's story offers valuable insights and encouragement.
Tune in to hear about the ups and downs of sober living and why taking things one step at a time can make all the difference.
