The most difficult aspect of quitting an addiction is when our minds try to convince us that we either miss our addiction or need it. Either way, as long as we think in that way, our minds will always win.
Ever felt the pull of a drink when life gets tough? In this episode of 'Sober Militia', J.W. Collier tackles the tricky topic of sitting with discomfort. It's all about those moments when alcohol seems like a friend but ends up being a foe. Collier dives into how recognizing cravings can be a game-changer. Instead of reaching for a bottle, she suggests taking a moment to really feel those uncomfortable emotions. Why?
Because understanding your physical responses to cravings can help you make better choices. Imagine being able to pause, breathe, and decide on a healthier way to cope. Sounds empowering, right? Collier's approach isn't just about avoiding alcohol; it's about transforming how you handle life's bumps and bruises. She emphasizes that while alcohol might offer a quick escape, it ultimately worsens the problem. So, what's the alternative? Embrace the discomfort. Let those feelings wash over you without reacting impulsively.
It's not easy, but it's a powerful step towards lasting sobriety. Whether you're in recovery or supporting someone who is, this episode offers valuable insights into breaking the cycle of using alcohol as a crutch. Tune in and discover how sitting with discomfort can lead to stronger, healthier coping mechanisms.
