Before you knew it, all that was left were alcohol and drugs. Then, One Day, everything quit working and the suboptimal life I had been living was no longer bearable.
Ever wondered what keeps someone grounded during the storm of addiction recovery? In this episode of 'Sobriety Rocks', Kirk Waterman dives into the idea of 'Foundational Anchors' and how they play a crucial role in maintaining sobriety. Kirk opens up about his own journey, starting with his childhood reliance on his parents and faith, which eventually shifted to athletics, relationships, and unfortunately, drugs and alcohol. As these anchors began to fail him, he found himself spiraling deeper into addiction.
But it was in the 12-step recovery community that he discovered new, more reliable anchors that helped him rebuild his life. Through heartfelt storytelling, Kirk emphasizes the importance of finding stable anchors—whether it's through community, spirituality, or personal growth—to create a solid foundation for recovery. He also shares the St. Francis-Step Prayer from Alcoholics Anonymous, a meditation he finds particularly grounding.
If you're looking for insights on how to build a strong foundation in your own recovery journey, this episode is a must-listen.
