One of the patterns I have seen often from people struggling in recovery is after the initial emotional boost from escaping from addiction, there comes a point in many people's recovery where they fall into a lull where life seems just to be dull.
And then the thought creeps into their head, where they start thinking “Is this really it?”.
Most of these people are simply not drinking and have settled into a routine that does not match the life they are capable of living.
A life filled with joy, excitement, and fulfillment.
They simply have settled for just being sober.
So how do we recognize this stage, what are the reasons we tend to gravitate towards settling, and what can we do to get out of that rut?
That is what we are going to talk about in this episode.
