Get the buttons here!Jeff and Rebecca: A Year and a Lifetime of Sobriety
The most amazing thing is that I experience like time, minutes knitted together, that work up into hours that become a day, maybe Two Or Three Days In A Row, where I will feel totally serene and not have a verbal or physical confrontation with anybody and not do something that I feel really shitty about...
Ever wondered how different the journey to sobriety can be? In this episode of Sober Cast, you get a glimpse into two very distinct paths. Jeff, celebrating one year of sobriety, kicks things off with a candid 10-minute share at the North Oakland AA Open speaker meeting. He dives into the raw and often brutal reality of alcohol withdrawal, painting a vivid picture of his struggles and the physical toll it took on him.
His story is a testament to the early stages of recovery, filled with determination and the budding hope of a new life free from addiction. Then, we hear from Rebecca, who has been sober for 16 years. Her journey offers a long-term perspective on recovery, emphasizing the importance of having a sponsor and the ongoing process of self-discovery. Rebecca opens up about her battles with self-harm and how mindfulness and self-care became her lifelines.
She also touches on how her cultural identity as a Mexican-American influenced her path to sobriety, adding another layer to her deeply personal story. Both Jeff and Rebecca highlight the crucial role of support systems in overcoming addiction. Jeff talks about the well-known stages of recovery and how they have helped him stay on track, while Rebecca's narrative underscores the power of community and personal growth over time.
Their stories are not just about quitting alcohol; they are about finding solutions, embracing change, and building a life worth living. This episode is a must-listen for anyone on their own recovery journey or supporting someone who is. Tune in to Sober Cast to hear these inspiring tales of resilience and transformation.
