Coasting in Recovery: Finding Balance and Connection
Coasting is a good thing. It's okay to coast, but if you find yourself getting in triggering situations or if you have an argument or something throws you off your groove, then maybe you should post. Maybe you should check in if you don't feel like posting, reach out to somebody individually, because that's what it's about.
Ever wondered if it's okay to just coast in your recovery journey? This episode of 'Sober as $#@! Podcast' dives into that very question. Brandi, the host, takes you on a reflective trip as she explores the idea of coasting—what it means, whether it's okay, and how it fits into the broader picture of recovery. She also shares her recent experience at a recovery retreat in Atlanta, Georgia, where she connected with some incredible recovery warriors.
This retreat was more than just a getaway; it was a powerful reminder of the importance of community and support in recovery. Brandi challenges the conventional wisdom that 'relapse happens before relapse', suggesting that sometimes, taking a break and doing nothing can be an essential part of self-care. This episode is a gentle nudge to slow down, reflect, and remember that you are worthy of life and recovery. As a bonus, Brandi also contemplates moving the Sober as $#@!
recovery group from Facebook to a new platform, aiming to create an even more supportive community space. If you're looking for a mix of practical advice, heartfelt stories, and a sense of belonging, this episode is a must-listen.
