From Sobriety To Recovery: An Addiction Recovery Podcast

When the pain of using is greater than quitting, Ep 54


Listen Later

In this week's episode we will discuss the beginning stages of sobriety and recovery and how that can look completely different for everyone.

People ask me how was it that I quit and moved on with my life, sans alcohol - and it came down, for me, to this one quote, "When the pain of continuing to use is greater than the pain of quitting." 

All of this was sparked by meeting a man who was 25-days into his own journey and seeing his excitement and trepidation all in one facial expression.

Listen to this episode and then ask yourself these following questions:

I ask that you really sit down, look in the mirror, and sincerely ask yourself why you did this to yourself.

  • what trauma caused this
  • where is the root of this pain
  • can you talk it out with the causer and take responsibility where you can
  • what is it that you want out of life
    • like, really, really, really want
  • what if you knew you wouldn't fail
    • then what would you do?
