About this episode

This is Episode 11, Strategies for Maintaining Sobriety. Today, we’ll delve into the challenges of overcoming addiction and discuss actionable strategies that can help individuals move forward and build fulfilling, meaningful lives.

Addiction is not simply a series of bad habits or poor choices; it’s a complex struggle that can impact every aspect of a person’s life—mentally, emotionally, and physically. It takes immense strength, persistence, and support to overcome. Recovery, as they say, is not a destination but a lifelong journey filled with ups and downs. However, navigating this path can lead to profound personal growth and the opportunity to live a more enriched, purposeful life.
