How to Escape the Humdrum...While Building Long-Term Sobriety
Manage episode 501972797 series 3560763
Maybe it’s time for a brand-new addiction. No, not wine—something better. If you’re in your first year of sobriety, you’ve probably been told you should stay present and avoid distractions. But what if that advice is actually holding you back?
In this Sanctuary Saturday episode, I’m breaking down the truth about escapism. We’ll explore why humans are wired to need it, how it shows up biologically, psychologically, and even spiritually—and why it becomes especially important in early sobriety. You’ll hear stories from my own journey (yes, cheesecake included!) and get clarity on how to spot the difference between a healthy escape and a sneaky new addiction.
In this episode, you'll
- see how intentional escapes can actually support your healing rather than sabotage it.
- realize why forcing yourself to “just push through” leads to burnout and cravings.
- walk away inspired to create escapes that make you feel lighter, calmer, and more alive—without guilt or shame.
Tune in now and give yourself permission to escape the right way. Let this episode guide you toward building healthy, life-giving breaks into your sober journey.
