Ever felt like time is slipping through your fingers, amplifying your anxiety? In this episode of 'Alcoholics Unanimous with Josh', host Josh Woida opens up about his complex relationship with time and how it played a significant role in his addiction recovery journey. Josh shares his personal experiences, revealing how his perception of time once fueled his anxiety and hindered his progress.
He takes listeners back to his childhood, where the constant push to improve in activities like baseball made him feel perpetually behind. This relentless chase created a sense of urgency that followed him into adulthood, exacerbating his struggles with addiction. But sobriety brought a shift. Josh explains how changing his perspective on time helped him release much of his anxiety and conquer some of his deepest fears.
He highlights the importance of being present, finding joy in the moment, and recognizing the progress made rather than fixating on what's yet to be achieved. Throughout the episode, Josh emphasizes the role of physical activity and self-expression as coping mechanisms. He candidly discusses how these tools have been instrumental in managing his anxiety and improving his mental well-being. His journey underscores the power of shifting perspectives and embracing a more positive outlook.
Whether you're in recovery or supporting someone who is, Josh's insights offer valuable lessons on finding balance and peace in the present moment. Tune in to hear more about how reframing time can lead to a better, anxiety-free life.
