Is Sobriety a Skill? Lisa Smith and Tawny Lara Weigh In
“It's a skill they develop, practice daily, keep fresh, and try to grow from. But it's also a skill that, like strength and endurance at the gym, disappears if we stop working it.”
Can you imagine treating sobriety like a skill you practice daily? That's the intriguing question listener posed to Tawny Lara, and it sparked a lively discussion in this episode of 'Recovery Rocks'. Co-hosts Lisa Smith and Tawny Lara dive into the idea that sobriety isn't just a state of being but a skill that needs constant honing. They share their personal experiences, emphasizing the importance of daily practices like exercise, meditation, and connecting with others in recovery.
It's not just about staying sober; it's about growing and evolving in your journey. Lisa talks about how the 12 Steps play a crucial role in her life, while Tawny highlights other tools in their sobriety toolkit. They also discuss the concept of relapse and why it's essential to view it as part of the learning process rather than a failure.
The episode wraps up with their popular Music Minute segment, featuring tunes from Metallica, Pitbull, and Red Hot Chili Peppers. This episode is a must-listen for anyone looking to deepen their understanding of recovery and find new ways to strengthen their sobriety skills.
