Ever wondered why sobriety isn't the endgame in recovery? This episode of 'On the Brink: The No Grey Area Podcast' tackles the idea that stopping alcohol consumption is just the beginning. Hosted by Yosiya and Pamela Reynell, a transformational life coach, the discussion revolves around building a fulfilling life post-rehabilitation. Yosiya shares his personal journey of recovery after battling alcohol addiction for nearly 30 years.
He emphasises the importance of attacking weaknesses and replacing bad habits with good ones, like wiping out toxic contacts and embracing healthy living. Pamela brings her expertise to the table, encouraging listeners to find joy in their everyday activities. She believes that true recovery involves understanding what you love to do and doing it wholeheartedly, regardless of external validation. This approach not only aids in sobriety but also helps individuals shine at their brightest.
The episode also highlights the significance of setting SMART goals—specific, measurable, achievable, relevant, and time-bound—to maintain momentum in recovery. Yosiya draws inspiration from Steve Nash, urging listeners to find something they love, do it daily, and balance can follow later. With a blend of humour and honesty, the hosts challenge the notion that sobriety alone is enough. Instead, they advocate for a life filled with purpose and joy.
So, are you ready to redefine your recovery journey beyond just staying sober?
