Awake and Sober

WELCOME to The Awake and Sober Podcast!!!

On this episode we will be talking about what it means to live life with an attitude of Gratitude. A lot of times when situations in life and in recovery get tough, we often forget what's going RIGHT in our lives. 

We will discuss what it means to be truly Grateful, how to cultivate an attitude of gratitude, as well as remaining mindful and present in situations that we feel uncomfortable in. 

Everyone has a past and most, if not all, wish that we could change the outcomes of what happened. Instead of trying to change the past, we practice being grateful for the trials and struggles because they led us to where we are today. 

Practicing gratitude involves intentionally acknowledging and appreciating the positive aspects of our lives in the midst of challenges.

We hope that our episode today will help you stay more present and aware of all of the positive aspects in your life, while also learning to begin the process of letting go!

We truly appreciate all of the feedback we receive from our viewers, and don't forget to enjoy the small things during this holiday season!

We hope you enjoy the episode and don't forget to email us at [email protected] for any information or questions you might have! 

A mainstay of all of our recovery stories is being completely honest with our support teams but most importantly, honest with ourselves. How do we do that?

The answer is simple, we journal about our experiences, ideas, and goals. If you are anything like us, then that means you journal A LOT and take a bunch of notes, so don't you deserve a great writing instrument?

We think you do, and we are happy to announce...

Welcome back to the Awake and Sober Podcast!

This week we talk about finding joy in the midst of a bad headspace. What is a bad headspace? How does one fall into a bad headspace? How can one cope while dealing with a bad headspace? Finally, Ho does one get out of a bad headspace?

Every person on this show, host and guest alike, has dealt with some form of a bad headspace throughout life in active substance abuse, also in a life full of recovery. Mindsets like these do not discriminate. No matter where you come from or what you're doing in your life, a bad headspace can grab you and try to keep you inside yourself, alone and cut off from all forms of support.

On this episode we will talk about what we do in our lives of recovery in hopes that you can learn from our experiences, strength, and hope.

We hope you enjoy the episode and don't forget to email us at [email protected] for any information or questions you might have!
