The Sober Plug

When we get caught up in our own selfish desires, a lot of times we are operating out of fear, greed, envy and ego. Our energy is not where it should be which guarantees we will attract things we don't want. However, working towards goals and ambitions with a sense of optimism, gratitude, detachment and Faith will bring us exactly where we need to be in the long run. Being detached from immediate results while enjoying the process and journey of life is where freedom is found. There will be things that happen in life and outcomes you might not like, but you will see how it all played a necessary part in the journey at a later time. Working hard and moving with Faith will get you where you want to be. Always.

Every New Year people make resolutions that never stick. It's easy to say things are going to change but once the "motivation" wears off, people tend to go back to old habits that are comfortable.

If we don't have strong boundaries in sobriety, we end up putting ourselves in vulnerable positions that are extremely unhealthy.

One of the most important things you can do is stay true to who you are and your own personal goals and ambitions. In this episode Connor explains why this is important and how to implement this mindset.

Sometimes we become used to living a certain way and we think that change is impossible or not in the cards for us. The fear of change can paralyze you even if it represents something positive. In active addiction, we become accustomed to suffering and we start to believe that "this is just how life is". Even in sobriety, we might settle into a life that we don't really want and aren't excited about and think that it's normal. But I believe that you are always one idea away from having a completely different life. You are one idea away from greatness, even in the darkest of times.

Whether we realize it or not, drugs and alcohol fill some type of void within ourselves which is what leads to an addiction. It solves some type of problem and gives us "peace" internally, even if your external circumstances can be in complete chaos. Using drugs and alcohol isn't a true path to joy though, nor is it sustainable. It's important to understand that we can achieve peace, contentment, joy and fulfillment in sobriety. In this episode, Connor explains the 3 steps needed in order to do so.

One of the most important things in sobriety is making sure you're spending your time with healthy people. In early recovery, a lot of people try to hold onto old friendships/ relationships that are clearly toxic, and it only ends in a few ways (none of them are good). If we want a new life, we have to be willing to shed our old one. The people who refuse to accept this tend to get burned over and over until a change is made. If you struggle with keeping healthy relationships, this episode is for you.

When we aren't living up to our own standards and we conduct ourselves in a way that doesn't reflect who we truly are at heart, guilt and shame is typically the end result. The reason why addiction leads to guilt and shame is because we know that we are living well below our own standards and the longer we are struggling, the more guilt and shame builds with it. Even though this can be painful, it is a necessary and important piece to getting on the path to recovery. If you feel like you're overwhelmed with guilt and shame, this episode is for you.
