Claude's episode on SoberQ is a heartfelt exploration of the early days of sobriety, where he candidly shares the highs and lows of his journey. He starts by acknowledging the tough reality of quitting alcohol - it's not a walk in the park. It's emotionally, psychologically, and spiritually challenging. But Claude doesn't stop there; he brings hope to the table. He talks about how, despite the difficulties, sobriety is achievable.
It's all about taking it one day at a time, sometimes even breaking it down to one hour or minute at a time. Claude emphasises the importance of learning from others who are just starting out on their sober journey. While those with decades of sobriety can seem like distant stars, newcomers are relatable and provide practical advice that resonates deeply. It's these shared experiences that make the path to sobriety feel possible and real.
As Claude gained more time sober, he found himself helping others who were asking the same questions he once did: "How do I get through the next hour?" By passing on what he learned from fellow newcomers, Claude illustrates a cycle of support and encouragement that keeps the recovery community thriving.
