Letting go of that perception of being in control of certain things gives you the power to take control of things that you can, and that's huge when you start, when it's directed to control.
Ever wondered how someone can turn their life around from the brink of homelessness to becoming a beacon of hope for others? In this episode of 'Sober Gratitudes', host Sarah Elizabeth sits down with Brad, who shares his remarkable journey. Brad opens up about his past struggles, teetering on the edge of homelessness, and how he found the strength to change his life.
Now, he's on the path to becoming an addiction counselor, driven by a passion to help others find their way to sobriety. Brad's story is all about the power of letting go. He talks about the moment he realized that trying to control everything was holding him back. By releasing that need for control, he found a new kind of power—one that allowed him to pursue his dreams and help others.
One of the tools Brad uses in his recovery is self-affirmation. He keeps a journal where he writes positive affirmations, helping him build a healthier relationship with himself. This practice has been a cornerstone of his journey, providing him with daily reminders of his worth and potential. Brad also highlights the importance of compassion in addiction counseling. He believes that having counselors who have walked the same path as their clients can make a significant difference in the recovery process.
This empathy and understanding create a supportive environment where individuals feel truly seen and heard. Normalizing sobriety is another key theme in Brad's story. He wants to break the stigma around not drinking and show that sobriety can be fun, fulfilling, and completely normal. By sharing his journey, Brad hopes to inspire others and spread a positive message about life without alcohol.
