Mastering Emotional Sobriety: A Lifelong Journey with Thom Rutledge and Dr. Allen Berger

The idea of emotional sobriety as a practice, and thinking of it as a practice rather than like...an attempt that he makes that he doesn't always succeed in.
Thom Rutledge and Dr. Allen Berger take listeners on a heartfelt journey through the ups and downs of emotional sobriety. In this episode, they reflect on their own pre-recovery struggles and the evolution of their consciousness over time. They emphasize that emotional sobriety isn't about reaching a final destination but about continuously striving towards a better version of oneself. The duo breaks down the importance of letting go of perfectionism and focusing on the process rather than the end goal.
They discuss how each day offers a chance to overthink but also an opportunity to make mindful decisions. With a blend of humor and wisdom, Thom and Dr. Berger share practical insights on how to live by choice rather than by default, making emotional sobriety a daily practice. They also touch on the neurological aspects of practice and how it helps in overcoming unhealthy dependencies.
This episode is a treasure trove for anyone looking to understand the deeper layers of recovery and how to cultivate emotional resilience over a lifetime.
