I mean, I'm sober like a little over 29 years. How impossible is it really when you think about it to sit down with a group of people and somehow, well, let me just explain to you everything I've learned in 29 years in 40 minutes. I mean, forget it. It ain't never going to happen. And, you know, but the beautiful thing about the way this program works, and this is the way I feel about it, is that as long as you're trying.
What happens when the drinking stops, but the emotional rollercoaster continues? In this episode, Russell S from the Coral Gables Group in Florida dives into this very question. With 29 years of sobriety under his belt, Russell sheds light on the concept of emotional sobriety and the symptoms of a spiritual awakening. His reflections are not just about staying sober but about growing emotionally and spiritually long after putting down the bottle.
Russell shares candidly about his own journey, touching on how he dealt with unhealthy dependencies and the importance of self-reflection. He talks about the ever-evolving nature of one's story and how continuous spiritual and emotional growth is key to long-term sobriety. It's not just about avoiding alcohol; it's about fostering a mature faith and living in the present. In a heartfelt discussion, Russell opens up about his past struggles with gossiping and judging others, illustrating the transformative power of self-awareness.
He emphasizes that emotional sobriety is an ongoing journey, requiring constant work and reflection. This episode is a treasure trove for anyone seeking to understand the deeper layers of sobriety. Whether you're in recovery yourself or supporting someone who is, Russell's insights offer valuable lessons on personal growth and emotional well-being.
