Show Notes:
Brother — I’ve been there. After my affair and losing my job as a pastor, the cycle of relapse and regret nearly crushed me. Like the drunk praying over a toilet, I swore I’d never do it again — and then I did. If you know that cycle, this episode is for you.
You don’t break the loop with willpower or empty promises. I tried that. It failed every time. What finally gave me stability was a new way of living: daily routines, nervous-system practices that reset my body and mind, and three pillars I could actually stand on — honesty, curiosity, and self-love.
What you’ll get from this episode:
- The truth about why relapse and regret feel like quicksand for men in recovery.
- How honesty, curiosity, and self-love build a foundation you can’t fake.
- The daily practices that stabilize your nervous system and give you the grit to stay sober.
Why this matters to you:
If you’re sick of white-knuckling sobriety or making promises you can’t keep, this is your way out. You don’t have to keep getting crushed by the same cycle. You can get stable, find peace in your body, and make decisions that move you forward instead of back.
Press play. Get honest about where you are. Get curious about how you got there. Love yourself enough to start building a life worth living. Then lock in your routine and put in the reps. That’s how men get and stay sober.
Brother, this is your moment. One gritty step at a time.
