In this episode of the Sober.Coffee Podcast, hosts Mike and Glenn welcome guest Tim D to the coffee shop for a raw exploration of recovery titled “No Longer Paralyzed—healing through ‘help.’”
The trio dives into the defining habits of alcoholism and the realization that while habits drive us, we have the power to shift from cycles of negativity to victories. They reflect on the “box” of addiction that once kept them paralyzed and why the simple, repeated action of attending meetings remains a vital lifeline.
Key Discussion Points:
- The Power of Help: Challenging the stigma of reaching out, the group discusses why asking for help is a “superpower” and the essential act of “ripping off the mask” to find clarity.
- Action Over Impulse: A deep look at why we often don’t “feel” like doing the right thing, but choose to do it anyway to maintain the gift of sobriety.
- New Beginnings: How new members energize the program by reminding veterans of where they came from, reinforcing that most don’t have “another relapse” in them.
- Responsibility in a Troubling World: Navigating a society filled with conflicting opinions by focusing on personal responsibility and being “aware” enough to choose life over a drink.
“I walk the sober path of recovery intensely and reap rewards beyond imagination… If I can help one individual toward sober success, my purpose has been fulfilled.”
