🎙️ Episode Title: Why Respect Matters in Sobriety – Lessons from a Rusty Yellow Car

In this episode of Sobriety Now What?, host Stuart Cline shares a personal story about a beat-up yellow car that taught him an unforgettable lesson about self-respect. With warmth, honesty, and humor, Stuart unpacks why respect isn’t just about how we treat others—it’s about how we treat ourselves, especially on the path of sobriety.

You’ll learn:

• How surviving isn’t the same as thriving
• A practical, memorable definition of respect: W.I.V. (Worth, Importance, Value)
• Why respecting your journey is foundational to long-term recovery
• Actionable ways to practice self-respect daily
• An affirmation to strengthen your inner voice

If you’ve ever felt stuck, overlooked, or like you’re just surviving life, this episode will remind you of your worth and offer tools to move forward with dignity, strength, and hope.

Invitation to consider at least one helpful piece of information to help them thrive in their sobriety and to share with podcast with others and to follow and email questions.
