I Love Being Sober

Tim Westbrook

Hello my friends, and welcome back to yet another episode of I Love Being Sober brought to you by Camelback Recovery - a proud partner to the most effective way to achieve long term recovery without the pain and suffering and high cost of multiple stints in detox, rehabs, and sober living homes. My name is Tim Westbrook and I am the CEO and Founder of Camelback Recovery here in the always sunny and always sober Scottsdale, Arizona where my team and I over the course of many years have helped thousands of people on their path to long term recovery. I started this show because there is so much misinformation about addiction treatment, mental illness, and addiction recovery in general. There is much more to recovery than just going to inpatient treatment, seeing a therapist, and going to 12 step meetings. Those things are important and AA saved my life. However, to find long term recovery and live happy, joyous and free, there is a lot more to it than just stopping the drinking, stopping the drugs, or stopping any addictive behavior. Sobriety and recovery can and should be fun. That’s not to say that the recovery process is going to be easy and it’s not to say that there won’t be difficult times ahead. However, to live the life that you deserve and for it to be exciting and fun you need new lifestyle habits. New healthy lifestyle habits that promote your mental, spiritual, and physical health. That my friends will lead you to living a KICK ASS SOBER LIFE! Visit CamelbackRecovery.com to learn more about recovery coaching, sober living, and your next step to freedom and happiness.

Love and Sobriety: Annie Lalla's Guide to Healthy Relationships in Recovery

“One way of looking at an addiction is leaning on something outside of yourself in order to avoid feeling the feeling that's in your body, so you can escape into something else, lean on a crutch, not have to cope.”

Relationships can be tricky, but when you're in recovery, they come with a whole new set of challenges. In this episode of 'I Love Being Sober', Tim Westbrook chats with Love Coach Annie Lalla to unpack the dos and don'ts of love during recovery. Annie shares her wisdom on recognizing when a relationship is beneficial and when it might be a hindrance to your progress.

They dive into the crucial role of self-esteem in building healthy relationships, especially for those in recovery. Annie's approach focuses on helping her clients boost their self-worth to attract partners who truly complement their journey towards sobriety. She highlights the importance of facing emotions head-on rather than leaning on substances as crutches. By tuning into what genuinely makes you feel good at a body level, you can start making choices that enrich your life.

Annie also emphasizes the power of creating a life that feels like a celebration. Instead of seeking someone to 'rescue' you, she advises looking for partners who can collaborate with you in both work and life. This episode is packed with practical tips on dating strategies and how to make meaningful contributions in your relationships, fostering personal growth and lasting happiness.
