Trying to talk people into getting sober... It's a percent failure rate.
Imagine trying to convince someone to stop drinking when they're just not ready. In this episode of 'The Recovered Life Show', hosts Damon Frank and George Snyder tackle this all-too-common issue head-on. With their combined years of sobriety and coaching experience, they share why forcing someone into sobriety is usually a losing battle. They call it the 'dance of death'—a cycle where well-meaning friends and family try to push their loved ones toward sobriety, only to see their efforts fail.
Damon and George emphasize that real change comes from within, highlighting the importance of respecting each person's journey and readiness. They also delve into the supportive role of the Recovered Life community, where individuals can share their stories and find solidarity. If you've ever struggled with how to help someone you care about, this episode offers valuable perspectives on patience, support, and the power of personal choice.
