Listen Later

It's common to find that yourself hitting a plateau in recovery. A time when recovery feels stagnant, like you aren't moving forward anymore the way you were before. Sometimes it's just uncomfortable, sometimes it can be a danger zone and can lead to relapse. We've invited our dear friend Corina, and sober influencers Eric and James to talk about how they've handled plateaus in their recovery.

"You can't stay clean on yesterday's recovery. You've got to do something different."

In this episode:

  • Hitting a rut
  • Recognizing and appreciate peace after the chaos of addiction
  • Growth looks different at different times
  • Reflecting and appreciating how far you've come
  • Habits that strengthen recovery
  • Avoiding complacency
  • Service in recovery
  • Learning to live in a new normal
  • Identifying the source of discomfort
  • The value of connection and community during a plateau
  • Where to find community - both anonymous and not
  • "It takes self awareness to know the difference between a state of peace and a state of dangerous stagnation."

    Eric mentions the book A New Pair of Glasses by Chuck C Chamberlain.

    Corina talks about how helpful the I Am Sober app has been for her recovery.

    Eric gives a shout out to Covenant Hills Treatment Center in San Clemente, CA.
