The Sober Fix Podcast

If the alcohol or drugs don’t kill me, the selfishness will! Everything in my addiction revolved around me, and I have to be mindful and watch out for it today. You can never count anyone out because most of the time, it’s the people you least expect to get sober that do. The reading came from the AA book, pg. 62. IG: @thesoberfixpodcast

This episode is based on reading from the “Gutter Bravado” story in the back of the AA book. I love this story and it is filled with pearls of wisdom. I love that it talks about gratitude as being an action word. We can say how grateful we are, but do we show it as well? I have found that sober people don’t relapse. It’s when we get disconnected from recovery and starting feeling ungrateful that a drink starts to sound like a good idea. IG: @thesoberfixpodcast

This episode is based from an AA morning meditation and commentary. Alcohol in the beginning meant conviviality, joyousness, and a sense of belonging. It didn’t feel that way at the end. Now we get to experience sobriety, and how it grows with time. One day at a time we get to enjoy the gifts that come from working hard and staying sober. The results are well worth the hard work that has to be put in. I never thought I could get to a point where I am actually content in sobriety. I’m glad I was totally wrong. IG: @thesoberfixpodcast

This episode contains an AA morning meditation and commentary about a Higher Power. Isn't it amazing that a Higher Power is different for everyone? We all get to have our own journey of understanding the power that is unique to us. The relationship I have with my Higher Power is always evolving and growing as time goes on. It's one of the many evolving things in recovery that keeps us coming back for more. I don’t have to fully understand my higher power, but I have to at least know that I’m not the one running the show. There will be times in our recovery journey that all we have to turn to is our higher power. IG: @thesoberfixpodcast

This fix of recovery comes from the NA Just For Today for 6/22/23. I spent years in a delusional world where I could not accept what my life had become. Today I get to accept the reality of my life, and work hard to be the best that I can. It is not easy, but recovery is always worth it. A solid recovery program can give us the tools to accept reality and face it. We don’t have to turn to a drink no matter what, as long as we continue to work hard and stay connected.

Relapse sucks! I had three big relapses before I finally got sober. I learned something useful from each one, and they brought me closer to real recovery. It’s how we bounce back from them that matters! I started to worry that I would never be able to get the life of recovery. Turns out I just had to get more involved and work harder and my life has completely changed. I’m grateful that I didn’t let the relapses block me from the miracle that was just around the corner.
