It's like peeling back layers of an onion; every time I think I'm being completely honest, I find out there are more layers.
Evan joins Jack for a candid chat about the challenges and revelations of maintaining sobriety. Having known each other for nearly two years, they reminisce about their first meeting at a men's retreat and delve into Evan's journey from rehab to his current clear-headed state. Evan opens up about the ongoing process of honesty, both inward and outward, likening it to peeling back layers of an onion.
They discuss the mental obsession that accompanies addiction and how it distorts reality, making the impossible seem possible and vice versa. Evan shares his struggle with obsessive thoughts and the concept of clear-headedness, realising that even when he thought he was clear-headed, he was often lying to himself. Jack and Evan explore the idea that our thoughts can create a false sense of reality, leading to feelings of isolation and depression.
They touch on the importance of conscious contact with a higher power and how prayer and meditation can help realign one's thinking with reality. This episode is a deep dive into the mental battles faced during recovery, offering insights and reflections that many will find relatable and enlightening.
