“Today, things aren't going to be perfect. Well, we had talked about it with, with coach David about, learning more from failures than we do sometimes from successes, and it is, I mean, you know, that if, if you don't, if, if everything always just goes your way, you never, you're going to, at some points you're going to get a monstrous kick in the balls. But, um, yeah, it just, I don't know. Because, you know, even though it doesn't have to be perfect, you don't want to fuck it up.”
Imagine trying to practice perfection while navigating the ups and downs of sobriety. That's exactly what Mike and his guest tackle in this episode of SoberNotMature. Despite some technical hiccups, the duo dives into the nitty-gritty of character building through good habits, and how values, morals, and ethics played a role in their recovery journey—things they admit were missing before they got sober.
Mike even shares a story from his week that ties into these themes, adding a personal touch to the discussion. But that's not all. The episode also features listener messages, including a fun exchange with a guy who had previously claimed that 90% of podcasts fail within their first year. Spoiler alert: SoberNotMature is still going strong!
From there, the conversation meanders through various topics like 'The Absolutes' in sobriety, sleeping issues (or the lack thereof), indulgences post-sobriety, work conferences, and the ever-present challenge of perfectionism. What sets this podcast apart is its unscripted nature and the hosts' ability to blend humor with serious discussions about recovery. They keep it real, sharing their experiences with authenticity and a good dose of laughter.
Whether you're on your own sobriety journey or supporting someone who is, this episode offers valuable insights wrapped in an engaging, down-to-earth package.
