From 'Have To' to 'Get To': Mackenzie and Sarah on Sobriety's Positive Shift
When we become transformed, we just feel useful and it's incredible. This is what happens when we get the gift of the tools, the golden ticket of these tools laid at our feet, and we're willing to do the work and we're willing to peel the layers and we're willing to throw away trash.
Remember those days when everything felt like a chore? For many struggling with addiction, life can feel like a never-ending list of 'have to' tasks. In this episode of 'Sober Gratitudes', Sarah Elizabeth and her friend Mackenzie share how sobriety has flipped that script, turning 'have to' into 'get to'. This isn't just about semantics—it's a profound shift in attitude and behavior that can make all the difference in recovery.
Mackenzie opens up about her own journey, particularly her experience volunteering at a camp for people with special needs and their families. What once might have felt like an obligation became a deeply fulfilling 'get to' moment, teaching her about unconditional love and the true meaning of service. Through their conversation, Sarah and Mackenzie highlight how sobriety offers tools that can transform your outlook on life.
They also discuss the importance of community support and the small, practical steps that can help anyone on their journey to sobriety. Whether you're just starting out or have been sober for years, this episode is packed with relatable insights and heartfelt advice. Sarah and Mackenzie remind us that getting sober doesn't have to be an uphill battle. With the right mindset and support, it can be a journey filled with opportunities to 'get to' live life fully.
