What separates us from normal people is how we deal with Those Bad Days. Do we react as we did in our addictive state or do we act from a place of intention, as we now do in sobriety?
Picture this: you've committed to sobriety, and you're having your first bad day without alcohol. What now? In this episode of 'Sober Militia', J.W. Collier dives into the raw and often uncomfortable emotions that come with living alcohol-free. He shares his own journey of navigating these feelings, particularly the challenge of experiencing a bad day sober for the first time. Instead of numbing emotions with alcohol, Collier suggests a mindful approach: stop, think, evaluate, and then react.
This method helps you understand your feelings and respond intentionally rather than impulsively. He also touches on the misconception that alcohol enhances joy, explaining how it often suppresses genuine happiness instead. If you're looking for practical advice on handling emotions in sobriety and finding true joy in the present moment, this episode offers a wealth of insights. Tune in to learn how embracing your feelings can transform your sobriety journey into a more authentic and fulfilling experience.
