Facing Disappointment in Sobriety: A Heartfelt Conversation with DeAnn Knighton

The challenge is to stay in the middle rather than buy into struggle and complaint.
Life has its fair share of letdowns, and sobriety doesn't shield us from them. In this episode of 'Show Up and Stay', DeAnn Knighton opens up about her recent disappointment of not getting into the University of Utah's master of social work program. It's a raw and honest discussion that many will find relatable. DeAnn delves into the stories we tell ourselves when things don't go as planned and how these narratives can impact our recovery journey.
Drawing wisdom from Pema Chodron's 'The Places That Scare You', she explores ways to navigate through these tough moments without falling into the trap of self-pity or complaint. This episode is a gentle reminder that awareness and self-compassion are crucial in overcoming self-doubt and feelings of inadequacy. DeAnn's candid sharing offers practical insights on balancing recovery with life's inevitable disappointments, making it a must-listen for anyone on the path to sustainable sobriety.
