In this Mindset Monday, I’m answering a handful of listener questions that all point to the same thing.
You can be doing everything right and still feel off.
We talk about the loneliness that shows up not just during addiction, but during recovery too. Being home with the kids while your partner is in meetings, rebuilding, doing what they need to do. You’re proud of them. You wanted this. But it still feels lonely and no one really prepares you for that.
I also get into something personal. Chronic pain and staying sober. What it looks like to deal with real physical pain without going back to the thing that used to fix it. This one matters because a lot of people are dealing with both at the same time.
We talk about uncertainty and how this life comes with more of it than most people can tolerate. You don’t get guarantees. You don’t get to know how it’s going to turn out. At some point you have to decide if you can live like that or not.
We get into time and energy too. How much of your day is going to conversations that go nowhere, overthinking, waiting, hoping. And how much is actually going toward building your life.
We talk about communication, but not the fluffy version. What actually helps and what just keeps you stuck in the same loop.
And then we finish with something a lot of people feel but don’t say out loud.
Is it fair to be frustrated when someone stops doing what they know keeps them sober?
Short answer. Yes.
But what you do with that frustration matters more than the feeling itself.
This episode is real. No fluff. Just the stuff you’re actually dealing with when you’re in it.
If you’ve ever thought, this is what I wanted so why does it still feel like this, this one’s for you.
