Tim G's Journey: Finding Sobriety Through Outdoor Meetings and Creativity

The things I'm doing are real and pure and, uh, program related, you know, um, I don't know again how much I have or haven't said about the steps and things like that, but that if I had one other thing that I would say you got to give this time- if there's anybody new that would ever be listening to the- they got to give this program time.
Ever felt like you're dragging your feet through the recovery process? You're not alone. In this episode of the Sober Friends Podcast, Tim G shares his story of resistance and eventual triumph. Tim didn't initially embrace the idea of outdoor meetings or creative outlets like painting and gardening. In fact, he approached them with a fair amount of reluctance. But once he gave them a try, he found unexpected relief and connection.
Tim's front yard became a gathering place for those seeking sobriety, especially during the isolating times of the pandemic. He opens up about how these outdoor meetings have been a lifeline, not just for him but for others in the community as well. One of the key messages Tim shares is the importance of patience in the recovery journey. It might take years to feel 'better', but every step forward is worth it.
He also encourages listeners to explore their own creative outlets, whether it's painting, gardening, or something else entirely. This episode is a candid look at the ups and downs of recovery, offering practical advice and heartfelt encouragement for anyone on the path to sobriety.
