When we first mentioned that, I thought of leaving behind that old way of thinking, kind of not abandoning it but just putting it down because it's not useful to anymore.
Breaking free from old habits isn't easy, but it's a crucial part of the recovery journey. In this episode of 'A is for Alcoholic', Jerry and his co-host tackle the tough topic of leaving behind the coping mechanisms we relied on during active alcoholism. They get real about the struggle to adopt new, healthier habits and the hurdles that come with it.
Money and identity are front and center in their discussion, especially how feelings of worthlessness can creep in when financial stability seems out of reach. They also dive into the fear of change, encouraging listeners to focus on positive outcomes instead of worst-case scenarios. The conversation shifts to character defects and how working on these can lead to a more fulfilling life in sobriety.
The hosts reflect on their own transformations, comparing their past selves with who they are today, highlighting the benefits of recovery like improved health and a brighter outlook on life. Social situations and cultural attitudes towards alcohol also get a spotlight, offering tips on how to stay sober amidst societal pressures. Setbacks are part of the journey too, and Jerry and his co-host share their personal stories of overcoming obstacles and bouncing back stronger.
With a blend of humor and honesty, this episode is a treasure trove of insights for anyone navigating the path to sobriety.
