The Sober Fix Podcast

In this episode of The Sober Fix Podcast, I discuss the glasses of addiction. My perception was always off, and either lead me to a drink or blinded me from the reality of my situation. I discuss getting my legal issues dismissed, which I thought would be impossible. I find that recovery makes all things possible. Sobriety sometimes rewards us with things that addiction once stole. I have to be vigilant in the recovery process or things can always go backwards. I hear stories from people all the time that have fallen back into active addiction. The good news is it is possible to live a sober life and be content in our own skin.

In this episode of The Sober Fix Podcast, I talk about the cage of addiction. This is when the fun has ran out, and we are hooked. Time flew when I was in this place of addiction and the destruction was terrible. It took me getting sober to really see how much I was affecting others. I find today that recovery is all about the journey. This is a fight I will always have to fight and I have to continue to make forward progress. I will never have a perfect recovery program, but I have to continue to put in consistent work. To those that are struggling, there is a better way. It’s not easy, but it is always worth it.

In this episode of The Sober Fix Podcast, I got to hear Jessica's journey of recovery. Jessica was first introduced to methamphetamine from a friend, and it would eventually start to run her life. It would bring her to jail multiple times and cause strains in her relationships. A combination of painful experiences would lead her to want something better for herself. She now has 8 months sober and has found a sober network of people and support. She found Celebrate Recovery, which has played an important role in her sobriety. She also moved away from old people and play places. She talks about how she navigated through early sobriety and how much easier life is without having to be high. Her relationships with family have improved and she now has supportive, sober people in her life. You do not want to miss this episode!

I tried absolutely everything to control and enjoy my drinking. I thought there had to be a way that I could recapture the magic I once found in substances. No matter what I did, I always ended up back in detox. I would rebuild my life over and over, only to tear it down once more. I had to get honest with myself that I could not control my drinking and using. I obsessed over the idea that I would figure out a way to drink like normal people. Many alcoholics and addicts pursue this idea into the gates of insanity or death. It wasn't until I got honest with myself, that I started to change. I needed help and I finally realized I could not stay sober on my own.

I had the pleasure of having a great friend come on to The Sober Fix Podcast this week. We played soccer together and got to go on family vacations together. We were even in the grasps of addiction together. We spent years battling opiate addiction and everything that comes with it. His name is Anthony F., and he has an amazing story of triumph and change. From getting a conviction by jury overturned, to gaining years of sobriety and opening a mental health/recovery center for teens. Anthony talks about his obstacles to getting sober, and how he has been able to overcome them. He dives into the recovery program that has allowed him to have a whole new life. His story is both inspiring and motivational. You do not want to miss this episode!

I got the pleasure of having Santy Mathews come on to The Sober Fix podcast. Santy is a Life/Business/Relationships/ and Deaddiction coach. Santy joined us all the way from India. It was really cool getting to hear what addiction and treatment centers look like in India. Santy gets to network with sober people all over and is even planning on having sober meetups in India. I enjoyed getting to hear his different views on addiction and the advice that he gives to others. I think it is amazing that we can develop a sober network of people that are all over the globe. It goes to show that addiction affects people no matter where they live. Enjoy the episode!

I used to think that freedom was being able to drink and use whenever I wanted. The problem was that it turned on me and started to strip my freedom one thing at a time. It wasn't until I dove into recovery full swing that I started to understand real freedom. Freedom for me today is being released from the bonds of addiction. It is being able to go about my day without having to bow down to the wishes of alcohol. It is being able to go where I want and not having to look over my shoulder.

For a long time, I thought that going to treatment was the last lap in the race. I now know that it is more like the first. I had to get ongoing care and a sobriety program after that. I have to have ongoing treatment for the disease of alcoholism and addiction. I have found that the longer I am sober the more that I have to learn. Sobriety is always evolving, and I have to make changes in my program all the time. I have found that sometimes I don't have enough recovery in my schedule and sometimes I even have too much. Life and sobriety are all about balance. I am still learning to balance my life to this day.
