The secret to a happy ending. Talk to me. Surrender. And what I learned is consequences drive surrender. Because if you keep turning up the heat, at some point you're either going to die or you're going to say, you know what? I've had enough of my own bullshit. I'll do it your way.
Ever heard the saying 'boiling the frog'? Mike and Glenn dive into this metaphor to shed light on a crucial aspect of alcohol recovery—surrender. In this episode of the Sober.Coffee Podcast, they explore what happens when someone resists surrendering to the recovery process. Using the vivid imagery of a frog slowly boiling in water, they illustrate how alcoholism can creep up on you, getting progressively worse without you even realizing it.
Glenn shares a powerful story about a man he sponsored in AA who initially resisted surrendering. This man’s journey is filled with pain, ego, and struggle, serving as a stark reminder of the consequences of anti-surrender. But it’s not all doom and gloom; Mike and Glenn also offer insights into how true surrender can lead to thriving, not just surviving.
If you’re curious about the fine line between struggle and surrender in recovery, or if you’re supporting someone on their sober journey, this episode is a must-listen. It’s like sitting down with friends who’ve been through it all and come out the other side, ready to share their hard-earned wisdom.
