Not drinking is a byproduct of developing yourself as a human being. Not using drugs, not lashing out in anger, not being lustful over things that you shouldn't be lustful over- yeah, all of that comes from being a person that you admire.
Ever wondered if you're truly ready to quit drinking or using? In this episode of 'Not an Angel', Nico Morales dives deep into the crucial question of readiness for change. With his unique perspective as someone who's been through the trenches of addiction and now works in behavioral health, Nico offers a candid look at what it really means to be prepared to quit. He doesn't sugarcoat it—quitting is tough, and knowing when you're genuinely ready is key.
Nico shares the specific questions clinicians ask to gauge readiness and explains why people often hesitate to seek help. He believes that seeking help before you're ready can be counterproductive. Drawing a vivid comparison to training for a UFC fight, he highlights the importance of emotional commitment in the journey towards sobriety. It's not just about the initial decision but staying committed even after the initial motivation fades.
If you're curious about whether you're ready to make a change or want to understand the emotional aspects of sobriety better, this episode is a must-listen. Nico's insights are both practical and deeply personal, offering a roadmap for anyone considering the path to recovery.
