I credit it all to getting clean and staying clean.
What does it take to turn your life around and embrace sobriety? In this episode of 'Get in the Herd', host Nathan Mitchell sits down with a group of newcomers to the recovery community to chat about their early experiences with the McShin Foundation. From the highs and lows of their journeys to the practical steps they're taking to stay sober, this conversation is a candid look at the raw realities of addiction recovery.
One theme that stands out is the power of community. The guests share how finding a support network, whether through sponsors or fellow recovery members, has been crucial. As one participant says, 'You can't do it alone. You need somebody to talk to'. They dive into how connecting with others who understand their struggles helps them stay on track and feel less isolated. Another important takeaway is the idea of personal responsibility.
While support is vital, each person must also put in the work to stay sober. This means developing new habits, learning coping skills, and being willing to face change head-on. One guest mentions, 'I get to get up in the morning and do my gratitude. And I'll be honest, one of the things for me, one of the biggest triggers for me, is a change of routine'. Throughout the episode, the importance of open communication and self-reflection is emphasized.
By sharing their stories and being honest about their challenges, the guests find strength and new ways to cope. One participant reflects, 'I'm constantly going to the gym, I live in housing, so I'm constantly around guys that are looking to me to be a leader of sorts, and that gives me a lot of strength'. This episode is a powerful reminder of the resilience and determination required in recovery.
It's an inspiring listen for anyone on their own journey or supporting someone else through theirs.
