Balancing Sobriety: Nat's Super Bowl Slip and the Power of Self-Care

Self-care is not indulgence, it's a critical part of recovery. It's about creating a relationship with yourself that allows you to grow and thrive in all areas of your life.
Ever wondered how self-care fits into the puzzle of recovery? In this engaging episode of 'Recovery in the Middle Ages', Mike and Nat, two suburban dads, get real about the ups and downs of staying sober. The spotlight is on Nat's Super Bowl relapse—a moment of vulnerability that many can relate to. They use this experience as a springboard to dive into the concept of self-care and its crucial role in recovery.
From the importance of setting aside time for yourself to the different forms self-care can take, Mike and Nat break it all down. Sometimes, it's about lacing up your running shoes and hitting the pavement; other times, it's about enjoying a quiet evening with a tub of ice cream and your favorite Netflix series. The key, they say, is developing self-awareness to understand what you truly need at any given moment.
This episode isn't just about theory; it's packed with practical tips and personal anecdotes that make the topic come alive. Beyond self-care, the dads touch on family bonding activities like the Klondike derby and share their thoughts on recent news, including a critical look at CNN's article on brain implants for addiction treatment. They wrap up with a reminder that self-care isn't a luxury—it's a necessity for anyone on the path to recovery.
Tune in for a mix of humor, honesty, and heartfelt advice that will leave you feeling both informed and inspired.
