Taking It Slow: Embracing Personal Growth in Sobriety
“It must not be a race with yourself or with others, especially with someone who has not had a drinking problem. Don't let your sober life be a big inhaalrace.”
Ever feel like you're playing catch-up with your life now that you've ditched the booze? In this episode of 'Better Sober', Jeroen van Zanten shares his journey of realizing that sobriety isn't a race. Drawing from his own experiences, Jeroen dives into the common trap of treating your alcohol-free life as an inhaalrace—a frantic sprint to make up for lost time. He opens up about how this mindset kept him from savoring the present and truly growing.
Jeroen’s advice is straightforward yet profound: focus on the journey, not just the destination. He talks about shifting your mindset to avoid perfectionism and the futile game of comparing yourself to others. Instead, he encourages setting realistic expectations and appreciating each step of your personal growth.
