Weathering Life's Storms: Resilience in Recovery with Matt and John

We strive for spiritual progress, not spiritual perfection.
Imagine the power going out, trees crashing down, and your kids panicking. That's exactly what happened to Matt J in South Windsor, CT. In this episode of 'Sober Friends', Matt J and John I sit down to chat about facing unexpected challenges and how to stay grounded when life throws you a curveball. Matt recounts the storm that hit his town, leaving him without power and some siding, but thankfully no major damage.
He talks about his initial internal freak-out and how he wished he had reached out to his recovery community for support instead of bottling it up. John I joins the conversation, offering practical tips on how to be prepared for life's surprises and the importance of leaning on your support network. They both emphasize that tough times do pass and that it's crucial to remember that you're not alone in your struggles.
The episode also touches on the recent end of the 'Recovery Happy Hour' podcast by Trisha Lewis, discussing its impact on the recovery community. If you've ever felt overwhelmed by life's unpredictability, this episode offers a comforting reminder that resilience is built one day at a time, with a little help from your friends.
