The maintenance portion of the five stages is really about gaining our awareness of our bodies and our mind and really using our community of sober support.
Ever wondered how relapse can sneak back into your life just when you think you're in the clear? Trish Terhune, the sharp-witted host of 'Sober Empowerment with a Snarky Bitch', breaks down three common scenarios where sobriety struggles often rear their ugly heads. Trish, a Clinical Substance Use Disorder Counselor and Recovery Life Coach, dives into real-life situations that many in recovery face and offers practical advice on how to navigate them.
First up is the 'nothing gained, nothing lost' scenario. Trish shares a heartfelt story about her best friend's relapse and the devastating consequences that followed. She emphasizes the importance of building 'recovery capital'—the resources and support systems that help maintain sobriety. Without these, staying sober can feel like an uphill battle. Next, she tackles the tricky terrain of working in environments that are rife with triggers, like bars and restaurants.
For many, these workplaces can be minefields, filled with temptations that can derail even the strongest resolve. Trish offers tips on how to stay focused and maintain your sobriety, even when surrounded by constant reminders of your past struggles. Finally, she discusses the often-overlooked challenge of managing pain and prescriptions when visiting the dentist or doctor. It's easy to fall into old habits when you're in pain and offered medication.
Trish stresses the need for self-awareness and the importance of leaning on your sober community for support during these vulnerable times. Trish's blend of professional insight and snarky humor makes this episode not just informative but genuinely engaging. Whether you're new to sobriety or have been on this journey for a while, you'll find valuable takeaways that can help you stay on track. Tune in to gain the knowledge and tools you need to live a fulfilling life in recovery.
