7 things I learned in 7 years of sobriety and 297 episodes of From Sobriety to Recovery

Ep #297: We're diving deep into what it takes to change your life and stay sober. First and foremost, you have to want to change. No one can make you do it but yourself. Most of the hard work happens when nobody's around to cheer you on. It's in those quiet moments that real progress is made.

Remember, you're moving forward even when it feels like you're going backward. Just because others seem to be zooming ahead doesn't mean you're not progressing. Imagine sitting in a car at a standstill while the car next to you moves forward—it feels like you're going backward, but you're not. 

Just being in the game is a reward in itself—and once you think you've won, the game has really just begun. Like Olympians who achieve what they thought was the pinnacle, there's always a new bar to raise.

Accept yourself, but change your behavior. You are worthy of the air you breathe, just like everyone else. Remember, your space begins at the end of your nose and ends as far as you can reach. No one else is responsible for your change. Your trauma is not your fault, but your healing is. Take responsibility for your actions, and don't be a drain on those around you—understand the difference between taking advantage and earning support.

Persistency and consistency separate those who achieve their dreams from those who regret not attaining them. I didn't set out to get to 297 when this all started. I didn't see much, if any, of my life back then being what it is today - but along the way, I set challenges for myself and then left it all on the proverbial field or in the metaphorical water, and I do not intend to let up any time soon!

Here is to moving ALL THE WAY UP, even when the storm clouds rumble while the sun shines.

Just hit play, and let's dive in with open minds and hearts—you are in the right place, at the right time—right now.
