In this episode of The Sober Fix Podcast, I talk about the cage of addiction. This is when the fun has ran out, and we are hooked. Time flew when I was in this place of addiction and the destruction was terrible. It took me getting sober to really see how much I was affecting others. I find today that recovery is all about the journey. This is a fight I will always have to fight and I have to continue to make forward progress. I will never have a perfect recovery program, but I have to continue to put in consistent work. To those that are struggling, there is a better way. It’s not easy, but it is always worth it.

It would bring her to jail multiple times and cause strains in her relationships. A combination of painful experiences would lead her to want something better for herself. She now has 8 months sober and has found a sober network of people and support. She found Celebrate Recovery, which has played an important role in her sobriety. She also moved away from old people and play places. She talks about how she navigated through early sobriety and how much easier life is without having to be high. Her relationships with family have improved and she now has supportive, sober people in her life. You do not want to miss this episode!

I tried absolutely everything to control and enjoy my drinking. I thought there had to be a way that I could recapture the magic I once found in substances. No matter what I did, I always ended up back in detox. I would rebuild my life over and over, only to tear it down once more. I had to get honest with myself that I could not control my drinking and using. I obsessed over the idea that I would figure out a way to drink like normal people. Many alcoholics and addicts pursue this idea into the gates of insanity or death. It wasn't until I got honest with myself, that I started to change. I needed help and I finally realized I could not stay sober on my own.

I got the pleasure of having Santy Mathews come on to The Sober Fix podcast. Santy is a Life/Business/Relationships/ and Deaddiction coach. Santy joined us all the way from India. It was really cool getting to hear what addiction and treatment centers look like in India. Santy gets to network with sober people all over and is even planning on having sober meetups in India. I enjoyed getting to hear his different views on addiction and the advice that he gives to others. I think it is amazing that we can develop a sober network of people that are all over the globe. It goes to show that addiction affects people no matter where they live. Enjoy the episode!

I used to think that freedom was being able to drink and use whenever I wanted. The problem was that it turned on me and started to strip my freedom one thing at a time. It wasn't until I dove into recovery full swing that I started to understand real freedom. Freedom for me today is being released from the bonds of addiction. It is being able to go about my day without having to bow down to the wishes of alcohol. It is being able to go where I want and not having to look over my shoulder.

Everyone has heard of the deadly drug Fentanyl. There are thousands of people each year that lose their life to this drug. My overdose on fentanyl brought me into recovery. I had to adjust to not feeling numb all the time and get used to normal life. Recovery can be difficult, but the struggle makes us stronger each day. I am grateful for a chance at sobriety that not everyone gets. My hope is that those struggling with fentanyl and opiate addiction find their way into detox and get to start their own journey of recovery.

For a long time, I thought that going to treatment was the last lap in the race. I now know that it is more like the first. I had to get ongoing care and a sobriety program after that. I have to have ongoing treatment for the disease of alcoholism and addiction. I have found that the longer I am sober the more that I have to learn. Sobriety is always evolving, and I have to make changes in my program all the time. I have found that sometimes I don't have enough recovery in my schedule and sometimes I even have too much. Life and sobriety are all about balance. I am still learning to balance my life to this day.

In this episode of The Sober Fix we dive into some of the obstacles that keep us from getting sober. It was scary to think of what life would look like without drinking. When I reached the recovery rooms it took me a long time to reach my hand and participate. I forced myself to start sharing, and I finally started to get some relief. I found that no matter how long you have sober, you have something to add to the whole process. Someone out there needs to hear what you have to say. No more suffering in silence. It's time to raise our hand and participate in our own recovery.

Juggling lies in active addiction was really hard. It started off as minimizing the problem, and later turned into telling people that I had been sober for a period of time. They always caught up with me and led me back to the drinking and drugs. It's so nice having a legit sobriety date and not carrying around all that guilt. IG: @thesoberfixpodcast

I take that first drink, and all bets are off. I don't know how many I will have, or how long the run will be. It took me a long time to realize that I had to refrain from everything in order to finally change. It takes commitment and hard work, but everyone is worthy of recovery if that is what they hope to obtain. IG: @thesoberfixpodcast

It's easy to get caught up in the stream of life. It's interesting how I can forget sometimes how bad it was in active addiction. I find that any day I wake up sober is a win no matter what. How the times have changed from having to chase addiction from the second I woke up. IG: @thesoberfixpodcast

I wanted a part-time recovery program that yielded full-time benefits. It wasn't until I had experienced enough pain that I was willing to try something different. I had to be willing to get uncomfortable in order to get some different results. I found that sobriety is by no means easy, but it is always worth it. IG: @thesoberfixpodcast

The holidays can be both exciting, and stressful. It's a time where those that are in active addiction feel extra isolated and down. I remember how tough the holidays were when I was still getting loaded. It is not like that today. Recovery has immensely changed the holiday season for me. I hope that everyone stays safe and gets to enjoy some time with loved ones. IG: @thesoberfixpodcast

We all have different journeys to recovery. Some of us started off as moderate drinkers and at some point, crossed the invisible line into alcoholism. By the end of it all, I was seldom mildly intoxicated. It went from something I did to have a little fun to something I did to block out all reality. It's nice being in recovery and no longer feeling the need to escape the way I feel. IG: @thesoberfixpodcast

Those three words completely describe how I always felt sober. Until I could again feel the ease and comfort that comes with a few drinks, or some opiate party favors. I used to see people drinking that were able to stop when they wanted, and it didn't make sense to me. I realize today that I don't have the luxury or relaxing with a couple drinks. A couple drinks means a 3-year run, and I will not take that ride today.

In my addiction, I was always reacting to life. I never took the time to really think things through and make better decisions. I find that starting my day with recovery puts me in a better headspace to go about the day. It reminds me of the path that I am on and has me better prepared for what life throws at me. My disease wakes up five minutes before I do, so my recovery should start early as well. IG: @thesoberfixpodcast
