For me, it was literally getting my dog and walking. You've got to be willing to put in the work, because no one's going to save you but you- and I think that's been huge for me- is that developing a morning routine and being consistent and my approach to everything I do, being authentic, being honest not just with others, but, most importantly, myself, because if you can't be honest with yourself, you're not going to be honest with anybody else.
What does it take to turn your life around? James Yount might have some answers. In this episode of 'Chase The Vase', host Brock Bevell sits down with his friend James to talk about his inspiring journey to sobriety. James, who has been sober for nearly three years, shares how faith, family, fellowship, and fitness have been his pillars of strength.
Starting small, he focused on changing his mindset first, which led to incredible physical and mental transformations—including losing over 155 pounds and achieving 13% body fat. James draws a vivid analogy between recovery and building a fire. Just like you need to gather wood and create a spark to start a fire, recovery begins with small, consistent actions that build up over time.
He emphasizes the importance of discipline and conditioning in overcoming addiction and how these small steps can lead to significant changes. The conversation also touches on the role of trauma in addiction and the importance of unpacking and dealing with it. James talks about the value of having a morning routine and being consistent with it, as well as the necessity of being honest with oneself and others.
He shares practical advice on 'playing the tape through'—a strategy to foresee the consequences of one's actions—and how nature has been a source of solace for him. Throughout the episode, James offers a message of hope and encouragement. He reminds listeners that while no one is coming to save them, they have the power within themselves to make positive changes.
His story is a testament to the fact that hard work and small steps can lead to a healthier, happier life. If you're struggling with addiction or supporting someone who is, this episode is a must-listen.
