We continue to talk about the importance of staying stimulated in recovery!

Everyone has a different approach, one that works specifically for them. My guest today, Chris Sobie, shares his insight on his process of accepting that it is ok to be a  beginner and the fear of missing out can sometimes be the fuel to experiencing new things in sobriety!

Staying stimulated is important in recovery, we have already agreed on that.

Sometimes, routines take over schedules and before you know it, you have fallen into the complacency trap.

We need to stay stimulated in sobriety so that we don't get bored. There is no reason to be bored! The challenge is allowing ourselves to try to figure out what we do and don't like without judging ourselves!

The always amazing Sam Morris joins me on this episode and shares his perspective on how to avoid hitting that plateau.

Happy May Everyone!

With a new month, we have a new topic! Since we talked about finding new friends in healthy environments last month, I think it is only appropriate to follow that up with how to stay stimulated in recovery! It is a very real thing!

Take a listen to this episode because it is going to be the foundation with which my amazing line-up of guests scheduled for this month will elaborate!

We talk a lot about perspective on this podcast. It plays a big part in our daily life and with our State of Mind.

Today's topic is no different. In this episode, I have the honor of chatting with Lesley and Robert. They share their individual perspectives in regards to one person being in recovery and the other being, what I call "normal" or someone who does not have a problem with alcohol, and how that affects their new social life.

It is a great episode...check it out!

If you would like to reach out to either Robert or Leslie, here's how!

We are talking about making new friends in recovery and evaluating our old relationships. This episode is a MUST!

Two of my previous guests, LB Burkhalter and Brian Tierney, chime in on what this journey was like for them and how they were able to really ensure that the people they surrounded themselves with and continue to...add value and authenticity to their life and their STATE of MIND!
