What to expect in this episode:

1. Recovery is about life, not sobriety
2. Having trouble with life while sober
3. The shift from ‘staying sober’ to living fully

Recovery is Not About Sobriety…

I thought getting sober was about sobriety.

It was like “I have to stay sober, I can’t use, one day at a time no matter what” and what changed for me is that I recognized that recovery is about life.

And how we live life.

And really, only a very small part of it is about drugs and alcohol.

When I’m having a hard time in recovery, what does that mean? It just means I’m having a hard time in life.

Recovery is not a thing recovery is just ‘how I’m living’. So it evolved from something that was about drugs and alcohol into something that was about life.

And that’s a massive shift.
