The worth of sobriety is not money. It's time. It is taking time for other people.
In this episode of the RAW Recovery Podcast, you'll find a refreshing take on sobriety, where authenticity and rawness are the order of the day. The host, with a hint of humour and a dash of saltiness, tackles the often taboo subject of money within the context of sobriety. They dive into the worth of sobriety, questioning whether its value can truly be measured in monetary terms or if it's more about time and community.
Tradition 7 of AA, which discusses financial self-support, serves as a backdrop for these reflections. The host shares candid anecdotes about their own experiences, including a cheeky dig at the cost of coffee versus the cost of sobriety. They argue that sobriety's true worth is found in the time and effort dedicated to helping others, rather than any financial contribution.
There's an engaging exploration of how different recovery programs handle finances and support, from AA to Celebrate Recovery and Smart Recovery. The episode doesn't shy away from discussing the physical and mental benefits of sobriety, offering insights into how sobriety can improve one's health and well-being. The host emphasises that sobriety isn't just about abstaining from alcohol but about rediscovering a sense of purpose and meaning in life.
They stress the importance of community support and doing 'esteemable' acts to boost self-esteem. With its unfiltered approach, this episode offers a unique perspective on recovery that is both entertaining and enlightening. Whether you're new to recovery or a seasoned veteran, there's something here for everyone. Why not give it a listen and see how it resonates with your own journey?
