Once we recognize what is happening, we can then move on to the next step in sitting with discomfort: acknowledge the discomfort.
Ever wondered how to handle those intense cravings during early sobriety? J.W. Collier, the voice behind 'Sober Militia', offers a compelling technique in this episode: sitting with discomfort. Collier dives into his personal experiences, sharing how acknowledging and visualizing discomfort as something separate from oneself can significantly weaken its grip. This isn't just about pushing through tough moments; it's about actively engaging with them and emerging stronger each time.
By treating cravings as external entities, you can strip them of their power and reclaim control. Collier's approach is both practical and empowering, making it a must-listen for anyone on the path to sobriety. He emphasizes the importance of community support, urging listeners to lean on the Sober Militia community for strength and encouragement.
Whether you're new to sobriety or have been on the journey for a while, this episode offers valuable insights into conquering those challenging urges and finding lasting peace.
