Beyond the Porch: Vince and Jeanna's Tools for Lasting Sobriety

Recovery is a permanent benefit that comes out of that self discovery, all that sort of helping others.
Imagine sitting on a cozy porch, chatting with friends who truly understand the struggles of addiction and the shadows of childhood trauma. That's the vibe Vince and Jeanna bring in this heartfelt episode of Back Porch Chats. They revisit their mission to help people break free from destructive behaviors by addressing the deep-seated issues that fuel addiction. One highlight of the episode is their discussion on the A.C.E (Adverse Childhood Experiences) test.
This simple quiz can be a real eye-opener, helping you understand your risk for substance use disorder. It's like holding up a mirror to your past and seeing how it might be affecting your present. But Vince and Jeanna don't stop there. They introduce an activity that helps you weigh the consequences of alcohol against its perceived rewards. It's a practical exercise that makes you think twice about reaching for that drink.
They also tackle the tough topic of relapse, offering insights on how to refocus your beliefs to maintain sobriety. Jeanna shares a particularly powerful tool: envisioning the person you want to be and acting as if you're already that person. It's a bit like method acting for your best self, and it can be surprisingly effective in making lasting changes. And if you're looking for more structured support, Jeanna talks about her new course, Simply Sober Self-Care.
It's packed with activities designed to help you through recovery and avoid relapse, making self-care a cornerstone of your sober life. This episode is a treasure trove of practical advice and heartfelt support. Whether you're in recovery yourself or supporting someone who is, Vince and Jeanna offer a compassionate, insightful perspective that's sure to resonate.
