In this episode of My Sober Addiction we are talking about ways to keep your sobriety in the forefront of your life. Besides addiction and recovery, addicts have one thing in common for sure and that is our tenacity, the way we obsess over things. It’s almost fanatical really. We don't know moderation, its as I’ve said in the past, we go either 1,000 mph or zero, no in between. Is that a personality trait? I think it is. Is it a bad thing? That depends.
Now that you are in recovery and living a sober lifestyle you can’t allow complacency to creep in. You have to find healthy outlets to focus that obsession on. I know, it is not politically correct to use words like “obsession” but whatever. In your new life living sober you can find other things to direct that addictive tendency toward. The amazing thing about that is, if you go after something that is positive as hard as you went after chasing dope then there is no telling how far you can go. Just begin. That’s all! Begin.
