Today I say: let's not just quack like a duck, let's do all the work so we can soar like an eagle.
Picture this: you’re at a party, reacting to everything around you, thinking you’ve got it all under control. That was Kirk Waterman during his wild days. But in reality, he was an overemotional mess, often becoming the crisis rather than handling it. In this episode of 'Sobriety Rocks', Kirk opens up about his tumultuous journey from addiction to recovery, using the metaphor of ducks and swans to illustrate his transformation.
Kirk recalls a quote by Timothy Radman: 'If it looks like a duck and sounds like a duck, it could be a really ugly swan'. He initially saw himself as an ugly duckling, struggling through life. But upon entering recovery, he discovered rooms full of beautiful swans – people who seemed calm and serene on the surface but were dedicating their lives to recovery.
Inspired by them, Kirk started mimicking their actions, bit by bit, and eventually found the same peace and calm. This episode isn’t just about Kirk’s story; it’s a call to action for anyone on the recovery path. He emphasizes the importance of consistent effort and dedication to achieve lasting peace. To help listeners along the way, Kirk shares a simple meditation practice designed to foster patience, tolerance, kindness, and love – perfect for those moments when life gets overwhelming.
For those looking for more resources, Kirk also touches on non-opioid pain management plans available on sobersurgeries.com. His message is clear: with dedication and the right tools, you can transform from an overemotional wreck into someone who glides gracefully through life. Tune in to this heartfelt episode of 'Sobriety Rocks' and join Kirk as he shows you how to quack like a duck but soar like an eagle.
