215 - Time to make new friends! Sep 01, 2022

Show notes

In this I discuss the importance of making new friends when getting sober. Often times when we get sober our old friends look at us like we're an alien or something. Reality is, that you will not be able to keep the same friends that you had while you were using. Items we need to change everything about ourselves including our friends and those that we think we're friends with. It's time that we look for people that are going to add value to our lives rather than take away from our lives.

213 - Take some INITIATIVE for your yourself and your recovery! Aug 24, 2022

Show notes

In this that I discuss why it is so important to take some initiative not only for yourself but for your recovery. Nothing sobriety process is going to get handed to you. We have to take the initiative to put 1 foot in front of the other to attain the things that we want. Sobriety has so much to offer us but we're going to have to work to get it. If we're not willing to take the initiative needed and put forth the work that we need to then we will end up with stale sobriety and nobody wants that!

209 - Do you have a VISION for your sobriety? Aug 10, 2022

Show notes

In this episode I discuss the importance of having a vision not only for your sobriety but also for your life in general. Often times we think getting sober is just about putting down a drink in the drugs, but there is so much more to it. If we do not have goals set for ourselves that are attainable it can be very difficult for us to see progress in our sobriety.

It's about that we start taking responsibility for our lives and build something with the remaining years we have left on this earth. Let's make our sobriety worth having that way we can continue living the life that we ultimately want to live.
