There is no such thing as being too dumb to get sober, but there is such a thing as being "too smart". People tend to stay sober after some form of guidance and mentorship whether that be rehab, 12 step meetings, coaching or other support groups. In most cases it takes humility and acceptance to get sober because this is when we are the most willing to take direction. When we are "too smart" for our own good and still driven by ego, we tend to make the same mistakes that could be easily avoided by listening to those who have been where we currently are.

One of the biggest misconceptions about getting sober is that you magically become ready to do it. The truth is sobriety can be uncomfortable because it represents change, and it's a significant one at that. But oftentimes we can never be fully prepared for what's to come when we are making a big change in our life. Being "ready" is a delusional thought because change is uncomfortable. A lot of times we don't feel ready but have to make the choice because our life is on the line. In this episode Connor talks about what it takes to make the jump in recovery.
