Actions Speak Louder: José's Journey from Intentions to Sobriety

My intentions are not my life, my actions are my life.
Ever wondered why some people succeed in their sobriety journey while others struggle? In this episode of 'Canadian Sober Eh!', Doug M, also known as Dougie Fresh, sits down with José from Miami to uncover the answer. José's powerful quote, 'My intentions are not my life, my actions are my life', sets the stage for a deep and engaging conversation about the crucial role of actions in recovery.
José opens up about his own path, revealing how he initially abstained from substances for seven months without the intention of staying sober for good. It was only when he started working the steps, following suggestions, and putting action behind his intentions that true change began. This episode isn't just about José's story; it's a broader discussion on why taking concrete steps is vital in overcoming addiction.
Doug and José explore the pitfalls of relying solely on intentions without backing them up with actions. They highlight the benefits of AA programs and discuss how discipline, honesty, and kindness can make a significant difference in maintaining sobriety. The conversation also touches on the importance of being present and helping others, which can be game-changers in one's recovery journey. By the end of the episode, listeners are left with a clear message: actions truly speak louder than words.
Whether you're just starting your sobriety journey or looking for ways to stay on track, this episode offers valuable insights and practical advice. Tune in to hear José's inspiring story and learn how you can turn your intentions into life-changing actions.
