Emotions in Sobriety: Changing Core Beliefs for Lasting Joy

Today I embrace all of my feelings because I want to feel everything.
What if the very feelings you tried to escape with alcohol were the key to a happier, sober life? In this episode of 'Sober Militia', host J.W. Collier takes a deep dive into the emotional landscape of sobriety, focusing on the core belief that 'using makes me feel good'. Collier challenges this notion, revealing how it’s often just an illusion that traps many in the cycle of addiction.
Instead, he advocates for embracing the full spectrum of emotions as a pathway to genuine happiness and recovery. With practical tips on how to handle tough feelings—like acknowledging them and sitting with discomfort—Collier encourages listeners to shift their mindset from 'alcohol makes me feel good' to 'I can feel'. This episode is perfect for anyone grappling with the emotional ups and downs of sobriety, offering a fresh perspective on how to find joy without relying on substances.
Tune in for an inspiring and supportive discussion that could change how you view your own emotional journey.
