Struggling with new tech setups, Carl keeps it real and shares his insights on why having a sponsor can be a game-changer. He emphasizes the importance of honesty and empathy in building a strong sponsor-sponsee relationship.

Carl says, 'When we really level about our distress, true empathy is forthcoming', underlining how crucial it is to be open with your sponsor for a solid recovery foundation. But that's not all—Carl also introduces float therapy as a complementary approach to traditional recovery methods.

He also touches on the pitfalls of sobriety, like the risk of bad advice from a sponsor. Carl advises listeners to choose their sponsors wisely and to trust their gut. This episode is packed with valuable insights and practical advice for anyone navigating the path to sobriety. Tune in to hear Carl's solo take on sponsorship and float therapy, and how these tools can help you find balance and well-being in your recovery journey.
