In this enlightening episode of the SoberQ Podcast, Jenny K shares her journey of sobriety and the art of constructively reviewing one's day. At 32, Jenny embarked on her path to recovery, and now, 19 years sober, she offers valuable insights into her daily practice. Jenny introduces the concept of 'spiritual kindergarten', a playful yet profound metaphor that encapsulates her growth in sobriety.

Her approach involves a disciplined, albeit imperfect, nightly review where she asks herself key questions: Was she resentful, selfish, dishonest, or afraid? These reflections help her align with her higher power's will and steer clear of people-pleasing behaviors. Jenny candidly discusses how impatience can creep in during the holiday season, especially when decorating her home. She recounts instructing her husband on how things 'had to happen', realising that's not who she wants to be today.

Through pausing when agitated, Jenny finds a way to be more present and useful to others. Another vital aspect of her process is seeking forgiveness and exploring corrective measures. Jenny highlights the importance of discussing things with her sponsor to prevent dark secrets from hindering her growth. This episode offers a glimpse into how Jenny's reflective practices have transformed her life, enabling her to see progress rather than focusing solely on the journey ahead.

Her story encourages listeners to consider their own daily reviews and the impact they might have on their sobriety journey. With humour and honesty, Jenny's experiences resonate with anyone looking to improve their life without alcohol. Dive into this episode for a heartfelt exploration of self-awareness and personal growth.
