New Year's Reflections: Celebrating Sobriety Over Resolutions
I'll be the oddball here, and I know I'm not unique in this, but in my dreams I actually get wasted, like I blew Years of sobriety. You know I didn't actually, because sometimes I look around the house, you know honestly, to see if I did buy something or use something or there's some evidence.
New Year’s resolutions are often about setting lofty goals, but for those in recovery, the focus shifts to reflection and personal milestones. In this episode of 'Recovery For Life', Indigo and the crew discuss why they steer clear of traditional resolutions. Instead, they celebrate their personal sober dates—the pivotal moments when they embraced a life without substances. These dates hold far more significance than any January 1st promise could.
The conversation takes an intriguing turn as they delve into the realm of substance use dreams. Ever woken up from a dream where you were using, only to feel the same guilt and shame as if it were real? One of the guests shares this exact experience, offering a raw glimpse into the subconscious struggles that persist even in sobriety.
Beyond dreams, the group tackles the daily realities of triggers, cravings, and the support systems that help them stay on track. They explore how these elements shape their recovery journey, making it a continuous process rather than a one-time fix. This episode is a treasure trove of honest conversations and practical insights. Whether you’re on your own path to recovery or just curious about the intricacies of addiction, you’ll find plenty to ponder here.
Tune in for a heartfelt discussion that underscores the importance of celebrating every step forward, no matter how small.
