“Get Off the Counselor’s Floor” – Challenges in Sobriety

Talking about challenges in sobriety, Mike & Glenn are in the coffee shop and the conversation isn’t all unicorns and rainbows. From challenges like emotions, habits, relationships, money issues, loneliness, boredom, mental health issues and the fear or relapse – the biggest challenge for Glenn? Change. “If I wasn’t open and willing to change, then I wouldn’t have been able to take even 5 steps in this program.”

Psychic change is the change that’s going to take away your obsession and make you acknowledge cravings for what they are. Then there are physical changes. Glenn had to physically stand up off the counselors floor at some point and put his left foot in front of the right foot and say: what challenges are in front of me right now?
