The first step is acknowledging that there is something there, and always being open to criticism is huge for me.
Imagine trying to stay sober while surrounded by friends who still use. That's the reality many face, and it's the focus of this episode of 'The Recovery Pod'. Steven and his friends dive deep into the mental gymnastics we go through when we're around people who use substances. They explore how these interactions can shake our serenity and lead to feelings of disconnection from ourselves. Ever felt jealous of someone who seems carefree in their substance use? You're not alone.
Steven and his co-hosts tackle this tricky emotion head-on, discussing how jealousy can creep in and mess with our minds. Steven shares his personal story of getting sober at a young age, right when everyone else was just starting to experiment. He talks about the tough but necessary decision to find new friends who support his sober lifestyle. The episode also covers the importance of acknowledging addiction and being open to feedback.
If you're navigating the rocky road of sobriety while still engaging with people who use, this episode offers valuable insights and practical advice. Tune in for a conversation that's as raw and real as it is supportive.
