Sobriety Rocks

Many of us lead wild and reckless lives with no direction when we were running the streets drinking and using. Sure, we had lots of fun times, but the truth was, as our disease progressed, we often got further and further from the life we really wanted.

Then the day came when we were finally hit with a big dose of humility and our self-indulgent adventures finally came to an end.

Thankfully, addiction recovery provides us with every tool we need to successfully navigate the ups and downs of life without having to drink, use, or cause harm to ourselves or anyone else. It also gives us the strength to walk through anything put before us, be true to ourselves, forge our own unique path and build the life we always wanted to have. 

If you're listening this today, know there will always be obstacles and challenges that stand in our way. But, when we’re truly committed, recovery provides us the spiritual strength and resilience to traverse any hazard we face and successfully touch the stars we never reached for while we were drinking, using, and running amuck. So please join us on the road less traveled. Aloha

After a long hiatus, the Sobriety Rocks Podcast from Recovery HQ is back. I had a close friend die due to addiction last August, then one of my closest, young sponsees died of a fentanyl overdose at the end of September. So, I’ve taken the last few months to grieve, reflect, regroup, and do the work to maintain my sobriety and rejuvenate my spirit.

In this episode we talk about resolutions, or so-called new beginnings. Before sobriety most of my new beginnings only came about either because of some painful ending, or if I knew the outcome was going to be hugely successful before I even started.  

But in recovery, I’ve learned that each day is a new beginning, and every day is a gift. No matter where we are in our recovery, it’s never too late to become who and what we want to be. It doesn’t matter how challenging your past was. If you’re alive, listening to this, there’s a world of new opportunities right at your fingertips.

Today we close with a brief strength mantra meditation to help us successfully make it through anything we may be going through. Listen to learn that you’re not the only one who’s had to start over and that today’s as good a day as any to begin again.

No one is born with success. God shapes trials, tribulations, and frustrations to make you succeed. It is always darkest before the dawn. When I look back over every struggle, heartache, disappointment, failure, and moment of fear, I recognize that God and the 12-fellowship have been with me through it all and continue to be with me. 

What about you? What trial or tribulation are you facing today? Whatever it is, don't worry. Listen to this episode and find out that together, we can find peace in the middle of life’s storms, and see the rainbows after they've passed. We close with a brief peace meditation.

We’ve all heard the saying “surrender to win”. We didn’t like it anymore than we liked the word surrender. Well, it turns out surrendering is a good thing that can bring amazing results. It can end up helping to remove the negative in our lives and replacing it with a bunch of positive.

One surrender can turn your world upside down and get things going in the right direction. If there’s still something you’re holding onto, listen to get the strength you need to surrender and joining the winning team. We close with the brief gratitude meditation lift us up and give us a bit more strength..

We’ve all either had to start over, got to start over, or wanted to start over. Whatever the circumstances, we looked at starting over from one of two ways. It was either the best thing or the worst thing, nothing else. 

In this episode we shine a little light on starting over and new beginnings. We don’t like to let our past hold us down or our future hold us back. We talk about living a life we’re proud of and making a new start if we’re not. We close with a brief strength mantra meditation to help us successfully make it through anything we may be going through. Listen to learn that you’re not the only one who’s had to start over and that today’s as good a day as any to begin again.
