Rolling with the Punches: Embracing Imperfection in Recovery
I'd like to say I learned to just roll with it and accept that I'm not perfect and sometimes I make mistakes, but no, I am obsessed on the non-linearness, if that's even a word, and tried to correct the error, only to discover that once the podcast is released to itunes, there's almost no way to recover and or correct it without risking losing all the other previously released episodes.
Ever had one of those days where nothing goes as planned? Robert McClellan knows that feeling all too well. In this quirky yet insightful episode of the Real Sobriety Podcast, Robert takes listeners on a journey back to a 'lost episode' recorded in the most unexpected of places—a cheap Florida motel bathroom. This episode isn’t just about the humor of the situation; it’s a deep dive into the importance of consistency and the art of adapting when things go awry.
Robert candidly shares his struggle with non-linearness and how his attempt to fix an episode numbering mishap turned into a lesson in rolling with mistakes and embracing imperfection. He reflects on his current life, traveling with his wife and facing the icy cold of Ontario, Canada, all while juggling the complexities of recovery. Adaptation and compromise aren’t typically strengths for those battling addiction, but Robert’s story is a testament to the power of trying, failing, and trying again.
As always, he leaves listeners with a heartfelt reminder to love one another and take care. Tune in for a mix of humor, wisdom, and real talk about the ups and downs of sobriety.
