From Recovery to Rehabilitation: Unpacking Long-Term Sobriety

Recovery is a part of recovery. Recovery is not a destination that you stay at. You want to move past recovery and get to where you're thriving, and that is rehabilitation.
Ever wondered why some people manage to stay sober while others keep stumbling? In this episode of 'I'm Sober Now What?', addiction and recovery veteran AKA TGIF dives deep into the differences between recovery and rehabilitation. With nearly two decades of experience, he’s seen it all and has some strong opinions about why traditional methods often fall short.
According to him, many addiction recovery professionals lack the real-life experience needed to guide someone from addiction to a fully rehabilitated life over 5 to 10 years. Instead, he argues that self-care, emotional healing, and gradual lifestyle changes are key. Forget quick fixes; this is about long-term transformation. You'll hear about the importance of vigorous outdoor exercise, healthy eating, and shedding emotional baggage through genuine healing.
He also critiques the limitations of 12-step programs and underscores the value of having a competent sober coach with a unique set of life experiences. If you’re looking for practical advice and a straightforward path to a relapse-free life, this episode is a must-listen. Tune in to gain valuable insights that could make all the difference in your journey to sobriety.
