318 - NO QUICK FIX for sobriety: It takes time and effort Oct 11, 2023

Show notes

In this episode, Ben and I discuss how people try and get sober and 30 days without taking into consideration that they spent decades, drinking and drugging. It's not a simple process and it does take time and effort. It's been our experience that the longer that one is in treatment, the much higher chance of long-term sobriety they have. Often times people treat sobriety like a quick fix diet, they want to go away for 30 days and hope that they can stay sober just from doing that and unfortunately that rarely works. If you have any comments, questions or concerns you can always reach us tom@realrecoverytalk.com and ben@realrecoverytalk.com.
