Being a parent in sobriety is like walking a tightrope, but with the right tools and support, it can be done.
Parenting is tough enough, but imagine doing it while navigating the rocky road of recovery. In this episode of 'The Sober Pod', hosts Devin and Chris (minus Sam) sit down with Justin, who brings his dry wit and candidness to the table. Justin shares his rollercoaster journey of going in and out of treatment centers before finally finding long-term sobriety as a father.
He opens up about the unique challenges of being a parent in recovery, from dealing with guilt and shame to managing triggers and temptations. Justin emphasizes the need for vulnerability and a strong support system to stay on track. He talks about setting boundaries and being honest with oneself and loved ones about what’s feasible. Stress and anxiety are part of the package, but Justin shares how he copes through exercise, meditation, and therapy.
The conversation also touches on breaking the cycle of addiction. Justin highlights how kids are like sponges, soaking up their parents' habits and attitudes. By prioritizing his recovery and demonstrating honesty, perseverance, and self-care, he’s not just breaking the addiction cycle in his family but also setting a positive example for future generations. The episode is packed with heartfelt discussions on the power of connection and the importance of being open about one’s struggles.
Whether it’s through a support group, therapy, or reaching out to friends, having a network that understands and supports your journey can make all the difference. Justin’s story is a beacon of hope and resilience for anyone trying to balance recovery with parenthood. Tune in for an honest, uplifting conversation that proves you can find joy, purpose, and fulfillment in sobriety.
