Embracing Serenity in Your Second Year of Sobriety with Guy Kettelhack

Sobriety does not mean becoming less human, and it is entirely human to feel the full range of emotions, from rage to elation.
Can the second year of sobriety feel more chaotic than the first? In this episode of Recovery Road, Guy Kettelhack sheds light on the unique challenges and growth opportunities that come with your second year of recovery. Drawing from his insightful book, 'Second-Year Sobriety: Getting Comfortable Now That Everything Is Different', Kettelhack explores why some of us might miss the drama and chaos that once filled our lives.
He emphasizes the importance of staying grounded and present to maintain lasting sobriety. Through this episode, listeners are reminded that feeling a wide range of emotions is a normal part of being human. From moments of anger to pure joy, Kettelhack encourages embracing these feelings while avoiding the pitfalls of victimhood. This episode offers a comforting reminder that sobriety is about progress, not perfection, and finding peace in the everyday moments.
Tune in for practical advice and heartfelt support on your journey to long-term recovery.
