Recovery is going to be filled with a series of ups and downs.There is nothing that we can do to prevent setbacks completely.We are going to make mistakes. Life is absolutely going to knock us down at times. There are times when we will think that we can't go on.But we can.  We have the choice whether to give up or to get up, dust ourselves off, and take a step forward, no matter how small that step may be.So how do we do that?How can we move forward when it seems so difficult?That is what we are going to talk about in this episode.

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.

Deciding to quit any substance is hard enough, but we often unknowingly do things that can make things more difficult for us.  One of those things is not doing any preparation to get sober.  We have one of those “I will never drink again” mornings, decide to quit, pick a date, and then try to white-knuckle it.But what steps can we take before taking the last drink that can increase our chances of having success?That is what we are going to talk about in this episode.Topics mentioned in this episode can be further explored in the following episodes:#2: Finding Your Why For Getting and Staying Sober#10: So You Relapsed, Now What?#15: Do I Need To Give Up My Old Friends And Life When I Get Sober?#19: How To Set and Maintain Boundaries When We Get Sober#21: Getting Honest About Your Alcoholism#51: How To Deal With Triggers After You Get SoberAlso, if you are looking for support during your recovery journey, check out the Sober and Happy Community here:https://www.facebook.com/groups/soberandhappy
