Sober Solutions Podcast

In this week’s episode, we talk about what it’s like to feel overwhelmed in recovery. 

Being overwhelmed often means putting our focus in a time that isn’t the present. To avoid getting stressed, simply bring your attention back to the now. We can’t change the past and we can’t control the future, but we can do our best to create a positive experience in the present.
