The limits of your world and recovery are just limits of your perception. With true work to address past trauma, we all become limitless.
Ever felt like your past is holding you back? In this episode of the Sober Solutions Podcast, hosts Chris and Jason chat with Sean S. from Middletown, CT, who knows a thing or two about breaking through personal limits. Growing up with an alcoholic and abusive father, Sean's journey is one of resilience and transformation. He opens up about how his early trauma influenced his life choices and how he learned to set healthy boundaries in relationships.
These boundaries aren't about shutting people out but protecting your own well-being while still caring for others. Sean also shares a unique recovery practice: writing note cards to his recovery community every week. It's a small gesture that makes a big impact, helping others feel valued and connected. For Sean, staying connected is a cornerstone of his sobriety. The episode dives deep into the role of trauma in addiction, emphasizing that true recovery involves addressing past wounds.
Sean discusses how overcoming his controlling tendencies and surrendering to a higher power has been crucial in his journey to becoming 'limitless'. He reminds us that the limits we perceive are often just in our minds, and with hard work, we can break free from them. Sean's story is both inspiring and practical, offering actionable steps for anyone on their own recovery path.
As he wisely puts it, 'Where we were is not where we want to be, because if we wanted to be there, we would never have engaged in the program of recovery'. Tune in for an episode filled with hope, practical advice, and a hefty dose of reality.
