Staying Sober: Jodie Stevens' Three Key Strategies

Most people, when asked why they relapsed, they say they weren't expecting the situation, they weren't prepared for the situation.
Ever felt like you're on a rollercoaster when it comes to staying sober? In this episode of Genuine Life Recovery, Jodie Stevens dives into three essential strategies that can help you or a loved one maintain sobriety. Jodie starts by discussing self-efficacy, which is all about believing in your ability to stay sober. She explains how negative emotions can chip away at this belief and shares ways to fortify it.
Next, she covers lifestyle changes—think of it as swapping out old, harmful habits for healthier ones. Whether it's hitting the gym instead of the bar or finding new social circles, these changes can make a world of difference. Finally, Jodie tackles the Abstinence Violation Effect, that sneaky mindset that tells you one slip-up means total failure. She explains how to navigate these setbacks without falling into the trap of 'all-or-nothing' thinking.
With her own personal experiences woven into the discussion, Jodie's advice is both practical and deeply empathetic. This episode is a must-listen for anyone on the journey to long-term recovery.
