Breaking the 'Not Ready' Myth: Transform Your Sobriety Journey with J.W. Collier

The idea, though, that we really need to kind of grasp onto here is that there's evidence to support both sides all the time. It's just where do we put our energy so in the idea of not being ready. If we change that core belief to being ready, then what we start to do is start seeking out the evidence that supports that we are.
Ever caught yourself thinking, 'I'm just not ready'? In this episode of the Sober Militia Podcast, J.W. Collier tackles this common yet limiting belief head-on. Collier passionately argues that waiting for the perfect moment to quit drinking is a myth that keeps many stuck in a cycle of addiction. He emphasizes that readiness is not a magical state you stumble upon but a mindset you cultivate.
By shifting the core belief from 'I am not ready' to 'I am ready', Collier believes you can unlock a powerful tool for your sobriety journey. J.W. dives into how this negative belief impacts not just addiction but every facet of life. He shares practical advice on how to actively seek out evidence that supports your readiness. Imagine telling yourself multiple times a day, 'I am ready', and then looking for proof in your daily actions and decisions.
It’s like planting seeds of positivity that will eventually grow into a sturdy tree of sobriety. Listeners will find Collier’s approach both encouraging and actionable. He doesn’t just leave you with a pep talk; he gives you homework. Yes, homework! He challenges you to find real-life examples that support your readiness for change. This episode isn’t just about theory; it’s about putting new beliefs into practice.
For anyone grappling with addiction and feeling stuck, this episode offers a fresh perspective and practical steps to move forward. Collier’s empathetic yet no-nonsense style makes it clear: the time to start believing you’re ready is now.
