Your path is your path, and I want to be on the fucking red sox, and I got on the twins and I quit. That's the thing that with us, we're just so fickle, right, and we can't- god, we can't find our ass in both hands most of the time, and that happens until you're about five years sober, by the way.
Ever caught yourself lost in thought, wondering where your mind wandered off to? In this episode of 'Six Second Sobriety', host Duncan takes you on a candid journey through the maze of self-reflection and sobriety. He opens up about how our minds tend to drift and the importance of being mindful of our thoughts, even when we’re not actively thinking about them.
Duncan shares a touching story about his high school girlfriend, illustrating how certain memories stick with us and shape our present behavior. He believes that those struggling with addiction often find themselves trapped in these mental loops more than others. Duncan’s approach to managing these thoughts is refreshingly simple: he dives into chores. This act becomes a form of meditation for him, allowing the thoughts to pass naturally.
It’s a practice he swears by, whether he’s feeling up to it or not. Throughout the episode, Duncan also reflects on his gratitude for his three amazing children, highlighting how family plays a pivotal role in his recovery journey. But it’s not all introspection. Duncan encourages listeners to break out of their comfort zones by attending meetings in unfamiliar settings. He stresses the value of community and seeing how different groups operate, which can offer fresh perspectives and renewed motivation.
As the episode wraps up, Duncan leaves listeners with a bold New Year's resolution: get off your butts and start trusting yourselves. If you're looking for a mix of personal stories, practical advice, and a bit of tough love, this episode is a must-listen. Tune in and discover how being present in your thoughts can pave the way to a more mindful and sober life.
