 In this episode of My Sober Addiction, it is just me, Matt, doing a solo. The collaborations with Dom and Clive from the Breaking My Addictions podcast are going great but solo episodes are still good, too. In fact, thinking about this inspired this episode. When we first move from active addiction into recovery and begin living sober, it is so important to find a new community to belong in. It is critical that we have people around us supporting our recovery and encouraging our continued sobriety. It is also important to learn to be comfortable alone. We have to get to where we can trust ourselves not to relapse when no one is looking. Im encouraging you, dear loved one, to get out into nature and connect with yourself and learn this new sober version of you, you’re not the same person you were during active addiction ya know.

 In this episode of My Sober Addiction we are getting into spirituality. Particularly,  the differences between spirituality and religion. Ohhh, dear loved on, there are differences! For instance, one of my favorite quotes since I’ve been living sober after active addiction and becoming a spiritual seeker is, “Religion is for people who are scared of hell, while spirituality is for those who have already lived through it.” As controversial and even downright offensive as that may be, if you grew up even mildly religious and survived addiction and found spirituality then it probably rings true to you. Clive and Dom join us again, the collaborations will continue…with a few solo episodes sprinkled in just because. Please join us in the WhatsApp group and chat us up. Much love and respect!

In this episode of My Sober Addiction we are back finally. There have been episodes recorded but published only on the Breaking My Addictions podcast but we are. Finally getting caught here. We are exploring the deeper meanings and causes of addiction and ultimately recovery.  This addiction recovery journey is certainly spiritual and would not be the same without you. Please join us on the WhatsApp group. Much love and respect!

 In this solo episode of My Sober Addiction it feels kinda old school. Not to worry, though, the episodes with Clive and Dom are still on. In this episode I want to challenge you to answer a few questions to yourself. For example, have you forgiven yourself for allowing addiction int your life? When we get sober we go through a lot mentally and spiritually but it seems that most of us addicts in recovery skip over the part where we must forgive ourselves. We also must forgive the circumstances that led to us becoming dependent on a substance just to cope with life in the first place.  That’s a tough one, accepting that ugly side of ourselves and allowing it to be. If we are to move past addiction and into a sober lifestyle and be able to share our stories and be inspirational for other addicts who are still suffering but ready to find their way into recovery and out of the madness then we must do these things.

 Don’t forget to join on the WhatsApp group where we encourage each other and have a safe place to just hang out and be ourselves. Clive, Dom and I along with others have some lively and often fun times there and will be happy to welcome you to the group.

 Much love and respect!

 This seems to be an explosive question in certain circles: Is addiction really a disease? Some claim that it is not, and while it is not the same as cancer, it is a mental disorder,in my opinion. Oh, but not so fast, Matty, others do have a different opinion. So, dear loved one, what’s your take?  Is addiction a disease?

 Clive, Dom and Matt get into this question with quite a thought provoking conversation about addiction and recovery and living sober. Send us a message and let us know your thoughts and why you think that way. Join us on the Breaking My Addictions WhatsApp group.

 Much love and respect!

 In this episode of My Sober Addiction, we continue our talk about authenticity. After active addiction, we begin living sober but are faced with the question of, “Who am I now?” You know you can’t continue to be the same person you were during active addiction so how do you reinvent yourself into a new version of you and remain authentic and true to yourself? Is this a version of self that you can sustain? It can definitely cause anxiety since the person you were for so many years during active addiction is no longer who (or what) you are now. It’s also exciting because the possibilities are truly limitless. Be the type of person you’ve always admired.

 In this episode of My Sober Addiction, we have another one of our “Isn’t It Nice” installments. Now that we are free from active addiction and living sober we can be there for our loved ones when they need us. There was a time when they absolutely could not count on us to be there. Also, we go into whether or not relapse is an option and how the fear of detox can be a real deterrent that keeps us sober. 

 Please share this podcast with someone and give me a rating and review wherever you listen to podcasts. Much love and respect!

 In this episode of My Sober Addiction, we delve into the Hermetic Law of Polarity and how we can learn and grow from any situation. Once you’ve gotten past active addiction and living sober, life gets good again. We can easily see the contrast in how bad and good things can be. When we look at the world around us and see all the negativity, we can do that knowing that it MUST mean that there is something that is equally as positive. Like the Yin and the Yang, you can’t have good without bad. So, bad things mean there must be something equally as good. As an addict in recovery, we can certainly appreciate that probably more than most.

Don’t forget  to drop in on Clive’s WhatsApp group and say hi to the guys and me, the link is below.

 Much love and respect!

 We’re back! After a very long hiatus, My Sober Addiction is back. Clive, Dom and Matt are back for a chat about thinking. Why is it that we always seem to think ourselves into oblivion? Sometimes it is best to step away from the brain and take a breath. One thing we’ve learned is that the human brain is going to do what it does best, which is think and overthink and then think some more. It’s overload! It just exacerbates the problem when we stick our faces in our screens and absorb all that negativity and dopamine hits that only social media can provide most of our waking hours. Meditation is a key part to getting control of your mind. Please understand that “Brain” and “Mind” aren’t the same thing. 

 Much love and respect!

 In this episode of My Sober Addiction, Clive and Dom are back for another lively chat. With Clive’s deep research and Dom’s quick wit, there is never a dull moment. So, isn’t it nice that, now that we are sober a free from addiction, we can be there for the people in our lives? Usually these are people are the ones who were there for us when we were battling active addiction and support our recovery now that we are living a sober lifestyle. It just feels good to be able to help people when they call rather than making excuses for why we can’t make it. The truth. Is, we couldn’t because addiction had us constantly chasing drugs, but of course we never would admit it at that time.

 We finish up by discussing how important it is to things today that our future selves would thank us for. It started with going through withdrawals and resisting relapse and now it is building a life. It’s not always easy but will your future self thank you for doing it? If so, then do it! Much  love and respect!
