"It's that bread that will feed your soul", says Dan about finding inspiration.
In the latest instalment of 'Addict in the Attic', Dan takes listeners on a journey through the crucial role inspiration plays in maintaining sobriety. With nearly six years of sobriety under his belt, Dan shares his personal experiences and reflections, highlighting how inspiration can be the driving force behind a successful recovery. He emphasises that while practical tips and tricks are vital for building time in sobriety, tapping into deeper sources of motivation is key for long-term success.
Drawing from his own life, Dan recounts how jogging along the beach and witnessing the beauty of nature, such as pelicans soaring overhead, has been a source of strength for him. He likens these moments to a guiding light, helping him stay focused on his path. Music also plays a significant role, with Dan sharing how he finds inspiration in lyrics that speak directly to him, creating a playlist that fuels his journey.
The episode also explores stories from others, illustrating the diverse ways people find inspiration. Whether it's Ed's determination not to 'mess things up' or Tim's connection to music, each story showcases the unique paths individuals take to stay sober. Dan encourages everyone to identify their own sources of inspiration, be it family, nature, or the desire to help others.
This episode is a heartfelt reminder that inspiration can be found in unexpected places and that it can be a powerful ally in the quest for sobriety. So, what inspires you to keep going? Tune in to discover how others have found their spark and perhaps find your own along the way.
