Keep it simple. You don't have to embellish on everything. There's so much freedom because, again, the last thing I'll say is, for me at least, I was not an honest human for the most part in my active addiction. The last thing I want to bring into my recovery is dishonesty, and so I found so much pride in finally being able to be so honest about exactly who I am, by being able to finally tell friends, family, all the people that you know I don't drink and it feels so good to be so honest and to not hide it and to not feel weird about it.
Imagine the awkwardness of telling friends and family that you don't drink anymore. Stress, anxiety, and even grief can flood in. In this heartfelt episode of 'Monday State of Mind,' Michael Arnold opens up about his own journey through these tricky conversations. He shares how he navigated the emotional rollercoaster of revealing his sobriety to loved ones. Arnold's approach is refreshingly straightforward: keep it simple and be honest.
He emphasizes the importance of finding supportive people who respect your choice, making the process a little less daunting. This episode is a treasure trove of practical advice for anyone facing similar challenges. Arnold's candidness offers a comforting reminder that you're not alone in this journey. His tips on embracing sobriety with pride and honesty might just be the encouragement you need to face those tough talks with confidence.
