Suitcoat Johnny on Embracing Change in Sobriety
“Sobriety is more than the containment of a compulsion; it’s a fundamental shift in consciousness. Is change a prerequisite of sobriety? It has been said that 'the same man will drink again'. Is change a random event, a willful management of behavior, a miracle or something else?”
Change is more than just a buzzword in the world of sobriety; it's a profound shift that can make or break one's journey. In this episode of Recovery Internet Radio, hosts Rick Atwater and Rob Ryberg sit down with Suitcoat Johnny to dissect the nature of change and its critical role in staying sober. Ever wondered if change is a prerequisite for sobriety? Or if it's an event or a process?
Suitcoat Johnny brings his unique perspective to these questions, offering a fresh take on what it really means to transform. He dives into the concept of a fundamental shift in consciousness, arguing that simply managing behavior isn't enough for lasting recovery. The conversation also touches on the psychic changes experienced in Alcoholics Anonymous and how community support can be a game-changer. This episode isn't just for those in recovery; it's for anyone curious about the transformative power of change.
Tune in for an engaging and eye-opening discussion that could change how you view sobriety.
