Fear helps me keep the negative people in my life at bay and it allows me to push them to the edges and to the periphery of my life so that they don't have a direct impact on my Daily life.
Ever felt like certain people in your life are dragging you down? In this episode of the 'Forest Fires' podcast, John Clark tackles the challenge of dealing with negative influences during recovery.

Throughout the episode, John emphasizes the necessity of self-care and surrounding yourself with uplifting people who support your path to sobriety.
His insights are both practical and inspiring, making this episode a must-listen for anyone on the recovery journey. Tune in to hear how you can protect your progress and maintain a positive environment for lasting sobriety.
