Ever wondered if there's more to sobriety than just quitting alcohol or drugs? Connor Duffy tackles this very question in this episode of 'The Sober Plug'. He breaks down the crucial difference between simply staying sober and truly embracing recovery. Sobriety, as Connor explains, is about abstaining from substances. But recovery? That's a whole different ball game—it’s about transforming your life on a deeper, spiritual level.
Connor uses the metaphor of building a skyscraper to illustrate the importance of having a vision and a plan for your recovery journey. It’s not just about staying clean; it’s about building something magnificent out of your life.
