Building Recovery on Solid Ground: A Journey Beyond Sobriety

Episode Overview

  • Sobriety is just the beginning; life continues with its challenges.
  • Build your recovery on solid ground to withstand life's storms.
  • Supporting loved ones through addiction requires patience and understanding.
  • Creating a nurturing environment can help maintain stability.
  • Change is possible without needing everyone in the family to participate.
Even after sobriety, you're going to have to deal with life on life's terms.
In this episode of 'Sober on Purpose', Jerry and Tanya invite you to explore the essential foundations of recovery. It's not just about quitting alcohol – it's about building a life that can withstand life's storms. Tanya shares her own rollercoaster journey of constructing a house with her husband amidst active addiction, which led to a realisation that sobriety is only the beginning.
You might find yourself nodding along as she recounts the chaos of juggling family life, work, and recovery. Her metaphor of building a house on rock rather than sand rings true for anyone feeling unsteady in their sobriety journey. With light-hearted anecdotes and heartfelt honesty, Tanya offers practical advice on how to lay a solid foundation for your recovery, drawing from personal experiences and biblical teachings.
The episode delves into the challenges faced by those supporting loved ones through addiction and provides a refreshing perspective on how to foster a nurturing environment for both yourself and your family. Whether you're dealing with mood swings or feeling like you're living separate lives, there's something here for everyone seeking stability in recovery. As Tanya says, you can change – even without dragging the whole family along.
So, grab a cuppa and tune in to learn how you can transform your home into a safe haven where joy flourishes. It's time to build your recovery on rock-solid ground.
