In this episode of My Sober Addiction we sort of get back to the business of talking about addiction and recovery and sober living and all that. Sort of. I’m making the point that we are not going backwards and we aren’t going to sit still, either. We are moving forward into our lives of sobriety, away from active addiction and even from recovery. What do I mean by that? I view recovery as the first few steps toward sobriety but that ultimately sober life is the goal. Put a bow on that, it’s done! Next, we figure out what we are going to do with the rest of our lives…now that we actually HAVE lives. Let’s face it, addiction is not “living,” it’s existing at best.
Now that we are sober (and just by virtue of that) we have an incredible amount of momentum propelling us forward. So, what’s next? Whatever it is, dream big, because with all this momentum created already we are going up, and at breakneck speeds, too. We need to utilize this opportunity we have. All that’s left is to begin being whatever it is that we choose to be. We hear all the time to “act as if,” or to “be as if,” and these statements could not be more accurate, the trick is actually doing it. Most people talk a good game but rarely do they ever really follow their own advice. That’s where we come in, we lead by our own examples, we will be the “Shining Examples” of what someone can do once they decide to simply DO it.
Please check out my YouTube channel, MattStevensMSA, and my Substack page, Matt Stevens. I do talk a lot about addiction, recovery, sobriety and sober living on those, too. Mostly, though, I explore some of the deeper meanings of things I’ve talked about on the podcast such as manifestation, reality creation, the science of consciousness, the nature of reality, Natural Law, etc. I also delve a little deeper into topics discussed on the podcast. Please subscribe to me on those so we can grow a community of fellow seekers who just so happen to also be addicts in recovery, too.
Much love and respect!
