In this episode of The Sober Fix Podcast, I talk about the sober problem. I always thought I had a substance problem, but I have come to realize it’s a sobriety problem. I turned to substances because I couldn’t stand being sober. I would put the drink and the drugs down, but I had thinking that was always trying to lead me back to a drink. I would get out of detox and think that my life was guaranteed to get better. I eventually found out that I need to treat my addiction like any other disease. I need a program of recovery that makes sobriety worth living. Recovery provides me with the support and the tools to live in this world sober. There is hope for everyone that thinks they are too far gone. There are thousands of examples of people that can show you the way!
