I think it's important that we name our triggers and we want to be able to call them out and say eggnog. So sorry, and I'm ready to respond to it.
Ever feel like the smallest thing can throw you off balance? In this episode of 'Recovery For Real', host Dave Koch dives deep into the tricky world of triggers. Whether it's a person, place, or even a smell, triggers can sneak up on anyone in recovery. But don't worry, Dave's got you covered. With a mix of personal stories and practical advice, he breaks down how to recognize these sneaky stressors and what to do about them.
Dave opens up about his own journey, sharing how his relationship with his wife changed once he got sober. He used to blow money on drugs and alcohol, causing all sorts of financial headaches. But sobriety helped him get his priorities straight and reduce stress. It's a real-life example of how facing triggers head-on can lead to positive changes. The episode isn’t just about Dave’s story, though. You'll hear from guests who’ve faced their own battles with triggers.
They talk about the tools and resources that helped them stay on track, from therapy to support groups. The key takeaway? Everyone's path is different, but having a solid plan and a support system can make all the difference. If you're in recovery or supporting someone who is, this episode is a must-listen. It's packed with insights and tips that can help anyone navigate the ups and downs of staying sober.
