From Sobriety To Recovery: An Addiction Recovery Podcast

These six questions are going to be your gateway to opening your mind to the possibilities of what you can achieve in 2021.

This has been one hell of a year. Wiping this one off the board isn't anymore possible than erasing the years and years we have under our belts of using and abusing ourselves.

So let's step into Gratitude and Thankfulness and get back to basics around these six questions. Answer these when you are thinking about your career, your relationships, yourself - anything you desire to manifest in your life can be born out the answers to these BIG SIX.

Ask yourself these questions and write down the answers because you will notice the answers change as you grow and evolve along your journey from Sobriety to Recovery.

What would I pursue:

Once you have the answers above ask yourself these questions.

4. Where are you?

We will revise these in the next episode as we begin the countdown to the next year, best year!

You choose to change. You choose to stay or go. To quit or continue. When you make these choices for yourself be mindful of inviting others into your decision making process. They will have their own mindset around what you are doing based on the experiences from their life. They may not be aware they are projecting their opinions, beliefs, and values on you but it is part of our human nature to generally give advice and help based on our life alone.

Even when we draw in comparisons from other people's lives, what we experienced from that other person is still run through the internal representations our mind creates around everything we have ever experienced.

When people start to hear about your plan they may inadvertently slide into the "spell caster" role - where they project their limitations upon you as if you will have the same outcome as them just because you are doing something they have a predetermined belief and value around.

Oh, and I laugh a lot in this one and use words I don't even know the definition to - so yeah, this episode is a myriad of hodge-podgy-ness. LOL

The people who have the most success in life aren't necessarily the smartest or the hardest working. It can often be funneled down to the knowledge you have about yourself. Your self awareness and the ability to evaluate your thoughts, feelings, and actions will be integral to your growth in life - not just in sobriety and recovery.

As you step into your sobriety and on into your recovery you will see obvious changes in yourself in every aspect of your life. Your esteem around yourself will develop and grow positively, your communication in your relationships will evolve into something all new, and your energy toward what you do for a living, for fun, and to relax and de-stress will morph you into a whole new world of opportunity.

Balancing all of this will be very different for you. Everyone in your life will have to step into a new sense of balance around you. This is the homeostasis, the balancing, that you and others will want to put attention and effort toward in order to find a new balance around one another.

In this process you will discover that you have a voice and you have interests that addiction robbed from you. As you begin to up-level your life you may begin to take on a multitude of new enjoyments in your life and that is natural. Embrace this about yourself. Take on a childlike enthusiasm in your new found life. In this personal growth you may see multiple interests increasing what you now believe is your potential.

Step into this new you with jubilance and confidence for it is in your sobriety and recovery that all of this and more is possible.

Emotional Intelligence, EQ, is not fixed. It can be developed. It can grow with you throughout your sobriety and addiction recovery journey. Unlike your IQ, which is relatively stable throughout your life - your EQ is chomping at the bit to be focused on, because it can be raised exponentially when it is prioritized.

A majority of us started our addiction journeys at a relatively young age - which means that our brains were getting screwed with from 18-25. That is right about the time that emotional intelligence becomes the brains focus point in its growth and development. Add in that our society, and world at large, is highly EQ deficient and we have a damn good recipe for an emotionally un-intelligent populace.

It is time we turn our attention to shutting out the chattering mind. It is time we prioritize our EQ through understanding how we internalize our emotions. Not externalizing our emotions, so as to not rock the boat or upset anyone, is not what EQ is about. It is self-awareness, self-management, social awareness, and relationship management - and we are gonna bring this to the table and put our attention on it.

We do not want to turn into the grumpy, old curmudgeon who no one wants to be around. We don't want to be the gossiper. We do not want to be beating ourselves up in our heads about anything. It is part of the human experience to have emotions. It is not part of our design to be run ragged by them.

Your comfort zone. Is it really that comfortable? Are you just convincing yourself that the facade you are showing yourself, and the world, is just smoke and mirrors? Is it possible we have all spent a great deal of time manipulating ourselves that life is just fine when in fact it is was a damn sh!tshow? 

In this week's episode, we dive into how empathy, opinions, values, and beliefs of ourself and others can effect our daily life. We further discuss emotional reaction vs grounded response - and we do all of this under the umbrella that living life uncomfortably comfortable is what got us all into this mess to begin with. Step out of your pseudo-comfort zone and step into and through the comfort of living life uncomfortably. When you create a habit of living comfortably uncomfortable you will grow exponentially and this, my friends, plays a huge role in our purpose of living and ultimately fulfilling our soul's journey in this life cycle.

Any new skill learned has a process to it. People tend to learn in either a Why, What, How, or What If format - but the psychology to learning a new skill develops its perspective via an incompetence vs competence manner.

In this week's episode we dive into the four stages and they are as follows.

1. Unconsciously Incompetent

Knowing these four stages will allow you to go easy on yourself when you are using your growth mindset to learn something new. This is beneficial because you can get hung up on not knowing how to do something with expertise and allow the negative critic in your head, or in your life, to persuade you to drop the new skill being learned in favor of your comfort zone - which we already know is actually an uncomfortably comfortable zone. Check this episode out as I bring my almost four years of trail and error in my addiction recovery to the table as we get "Back to Basics."

I can feel that I should be further along, I can hear myself in my head saying, "look dude, you can see where you want to be, how long are you going to tell yourself that where your at is okay." I mean, get a grip Jesse.

These ANTs - Automatic Negative Thoughts - that for me generally are based in judgement and self-doubt can cloud my brain. They can get in my way of seeing what it is I have actually accomplished and how 45 months ago I'd have given anything to be 10% of what I am today.

Where are ANTs taking over your metaphorical kitchen? In this week's episode, as part of our "Back to Basics" series - we will discuss developing a growth mindset around where you were versus where you are now versus where your potential is guiding you.

Everyone has greatness inside them - you just gotta get the heck out of your own way.

Going back to the beginning is my opportunity to remind myself of how far I have come. I think I have gotten forgetful about where I was versus where I am now. The first four year's of this journey is only three month away from its celebration. Before I start transitioning me, you, and this podcast to really focusing on the end of the year and the beginning of the next - I thought it an excellent opportunity for all of us to reflect on our own journeys, regardless if they are merely a day, week, or month in, or even six months, a year, three years, six...and so on.

We know it's all a day-by-day, step-by-step path we are upon - but I really like thinking about what my life will look like in the future. In doing that, it provides me with a vision for which I can set my sites and develop the habits that will get me to that outcome.

Oh, and this is basically a one-hour rant. When I say I don't want to drag people into sobriety what I mean is that I am not here to convince you this is the best way to live life. You need to show up with at least a vague thought that that is a very true and real outcome. From there I am happy to show you how to drink the water the horse was splashing all around - all the while not hydrating itself. At the very least be circling the watering hole - then I know you are curious about the water and from there we can build a plan together.

A therapist, a sponsor, your PACE lists, and recovery coaching. They all serve a purpose. In this week's episode we dive into what all of that is and how you can decide where you are at in your process and journey - and which ones you need, want, and desire in your life, today.

A surprise awaits you so hit play and let's get into it!
