Thankfully, whenever this happens, I take the spiritual actions I've been doing consistently all the days before and the addiction and alcoholism are once again held at bay.
Imagine waking up every day battling untreated alcoholism and addiction. That's exactly what Kirk Waterman, the host of 'Sobriety Rocks', faced for years. He tried to numb his pain with anything he could find—booze, drugs, tobacco, food, sex, and even gambling. But one day, it all stopped working, and the pain became unbearable. It was then that he found himself in the 'joy-filled' rooms of recovery.
There, he learned that every day he wakes up with untreated alcoholism and addiction, and that he had to treat them somehow. Thankfully, the people he met in recovery shared the tools they used to manage their conditions. They showed him how to use these tools consistently until his addictions were at bay, and he was free. Over the years, Kirk has had long periods where he's used these recovery tools abundantly and consistently.
Each time, the result has been the same: waking up with peace, love, and service in his heart and mind. While this state is far from permanent, it's a testament to the power of consistent effort and support. In this episode, Kirk shares not just his journey but also practical tools like daily spiritual practice and self-examination that have helped him maintain his sobriety. He also introduces a gratitude meditation to help you start your day on a positive note.
Kirk's story is filled with challenges, but it's ultimately one of hope and inspiration. If you're looking for practical advice and a dose of motivation on your recovery journey, this episode is a must-listen.
