We often are focusing on things that are out of our control... The reality is you can only control what you can control and you can control what you're focusing on.
Imagine carrying the weight of the world on your shoulders, only to realize that some of that burden isn't yours to bear. In this episode of the Sobriety Short Show, host Joshua Hill dives into the art of acceptance, a crucial element for anyone on the recovery journey.

This episode is a brief yet powerful reminder that accepting life's uncontrollable aspects can free us to concentrate on our own growth and healing. Hill's compassionate and understanding tone makes it feel like you're getting advice from a trusted friend.
