The real question isn’t how do I get sober — it’s what are you willing to do to get sober and stay sober?
Brad McLeod takes a bold approach in his solo episode of the Sober Motivation Podcast, challenging the most common question asked by those struggling with alcohol: 'How do I get sober?' Brad flips the script, suggesting that the real question should be 'What are you willing to do to get and stay sober?' Drawing from his 16 years of personal recovery and 14 years of supporting others, Brad shares his insights on why the 'how' might not be as important as we think.
Curious about how others navigate their sobriety journey? In this candid and reflective episode, Brad talks about the importance of willingness and the need to step out of comfort zones. He discusses common roadblocks people face, like fear of change and the tendency to stick to familiar routines, even when they're detrimental. Brad emphasises that simply knowing the steps to sobriety isn't enough; one must be ready to embrace discomfort and make sacrifices.
Brad also shares personal anecdotes about his own journey and the realisation that staying sober requires more than just following a set path. He highlights the value of community and support, encouraging listeners to connect with others who share similar struggles. Brad's message is clear: sobriety isn't just about quitting alcohol; it's about transforming your life by asking yourself what you're truly willing to do differently.
Are you ready to ask yourself the hard questions and take that leap towards a life of sobriety? This episode might just give you the push you need.
