#79: Are You Stuck In A Sober Rut?
One of the most dangerous but often overlooked places to be in our recovery journeys is when we are stuck in a rut.
Suddenly, things that might have excited us about being sober and life start to feel boring or dull.
When this starts happening, it often triggers many of the negative emotions that we experienced when we were still drinking or using, as anxiety and depression start coming back.
If left untreated, thoughts like “If I am going to feel this way sober, I might as well get drunk” might start creeping into our heads.
So, how do we get out of these ruts and recognize them before they get too deep?
That is what we are going to talk about in this episode.
