The more that we think about others, the less that we think about ourselves, and that's key, and that's what we want. You just focus on today and then break it up into those chunks of the day.
Picture this: you're stepping into the first year of sobriety, a time filled with both hope and challenges. In this episode of 'Recovery Is Possible', host Michael Van Meter draws from his extensive experience to offer practical tips for navigating these crucial early months. Michael, a former FBI agent turned Behavioral Health Therapist, brings a unique perspective to the table, blending personal anecdotes with professional advice.
He dives into why it's essential to see addiction as a disease and how community support can be your lifeline. Ever thought about breaking your day into smaller, more manageable pieces? Michael suggests this as a way to keep from feeling overwhelmed. He also highlights the importance of filling your time with meaningful activities and hobbies that bring joy and purpose.
But perhaps the most impactful advice he shares is about the power of service—helping others can be a cornerstone of your own recovery journey. If you're looking for actionable steps to set yourself up for long-term success in sobriety, this episode is a must-listen. It's packed with wisdom and encouragement to help you tackle the challenges of early recovery head-on.
