Rick Miranda on Owning Your Sobriety: Personal Choice Over External Validation

At The End Of The Day, if you're not, if you haven't stopped drinking for yourself and realized it, and come to the conclusion that you need to do it for your well-being, for your health, and you personally want to do it from deep down within yourself, you will start drinking again.
Rick Miranda dives deep into a crucial aspect of recovery in this episode of 'Struggles with Sobriety'. He opens up about the importance of making sobriety a personal choice rather than seeking approval from others. Inspired by a post on Reddit, Rick discusses how someone's trigger was not being believed when they said they were sober. This sparks a conversation about why relying on external validation is not sustainable for long-term sobriety.
Rick believes that sobriety itself is a reward, offering benefits like waking up hangover-free, being more productive, and building meaningful relationships. He also shares his strategies for managing triggers, including how he uses podcasts as a distraction. Ultimately, Rick reminds listeners that the journey to sobriety is deeply personal and should be undertaken for oneself. Tune in to hear Rick's candid insights and find inspiration in his story.
