So I challenge you to put yourself in situations to where you're going to have some obstacles...still to This Day I look for opportunities to create obstacles within my life, to get uncomfortable, so I can see.
Imagine a world where your sobriety journey is smooth sailing—no hiccups, no bumps in the road. Sounds dreamy, right? Well, Tom Conrad is here to tell you that the reality is quite different, and that's not necessarily a bad thing. In this episode of 'Real Recovery Talk', Tom dives into the inevitable obstacles you'll face in early sobriety and how they can actually be your best teachers.
Instead of dreading these setbacks, Tom encourages you to see them as golden opportunities for growth and learning. He breaks down the importance of analyzing any relapses, understanding what triggered them, and using that insight to prevent future ones. But it doesn't stop there.
