Podcasts about staying sober

Tawny and Lisa get back to basics and the Serenity Prayer. Whether your Higher Power is God, the universe, or a stick of incense, this episode is for you. Even if the whole "Higher Power thing" is not for you, knowing what we can and cannot control is a key tool in staying sober. It's not acquiescing or giving up if what you need to do right now is take care of yourself physically and mentally, and no more than that. Rest is essential. Letting go of what you can't control helps tremendously. Music Minute features the Dropkick Murphys and the musical Rent Watch The Dropkick Murphys Made in the USA  Order The Sobriety Deck  Listen to The Sobriety Deck Playlist by Hannah Gardner Order Tawny's book, DRY HUMPING: A Guide to Dating, Relating, and Hooking Up Without the Booze Subscribe to Tawny's newsletter  "Beyond Liquid Courage" Order Tawny's new NA drink, (parentheses) Purchase Lisa's memoir, Girl Walks Out of a Bar

People often ask me, “How do you stay sober when life gets stressful?” And my answer is always the same: I don't just work on staying sober—I work on managing stress and anxiety every single day. Because here's the truth: Your brain doesn't actually want alcohol—it wants relief. When you're overwhelmed, exhausted, or anxious, your first instinct is to reach for something that changes how you feel. And if alcohol has been your go-to coping mechanism for years, of course your brain still thinks that's the solution. You might be here because: You still crave alcohol when stress hits, and it frustrates you. You're white-knuckling your sobriety and it still feels like a constant battle. You're overwhelmed and just want simple, doable ways to actually feel better. No matter where you are, you're in the right place. In this episode, I'm sharing the real strategy that helps you: ✅ Reduce alcohol cravings✅ Build emotional strength✅ Stay sober even when life feels hard✅ Stop using alcohol as your only stress relief This is the heart of emotional sobriety—managing stress before it manages you.

Recovery Matters Podcast Episode 167 | Tajay's story begins with a life-changing arrest, leading him to outpatient treatment and, ultimately, to CCAR. He didn't initially seek recovery—it found him. While in IOP, he struggled with staying sober, turning to alcohol as a coping mechanism. However, deep down, he knew he wanted more for himself. His commitment to trying something differentled him to school, where a conversation about psychology unexpectedly introduced him to the idea of becoming a recovery coach. This opened the door to a new world, and through CCAR, Tajay found the support, structure, and inspiration to rebuild his life.One of the most significant changes in his recovery journey was reevaluating friendships and relationships. He realized that many of his past connections were built around substance use, and changing his circle was necessary. He now values friendships based on mutual respect and personal growth rather than peer pressure or partying. Relationships, particularly romantic ones, remain tricky, especially when dating someone who isn't in recovery. However, he emphasizes the importance of healthy communication and setting boundaries.Education played a crucial role in his transformation. What started as a simple way to stay busy turned into a passion. Tajay became deeply involved on campus, founding the Legacy Club to help students network, connect, and take their careers seriously from day one. His belief that “it's not just what you know, but who you know” helped him secure opportunities, despite not yet having a degree. He encourages students to build relationships, take advantage of resources, and stay open to new possibilities.Beyond education, Tajay found purpose in entrepreneurship and music. His first venture, a clothing brand focused on positive affirmations, gave him his first taste of running a business. While it was a learning experience, it laid the foundation for his current passion—creating and promoting music. Initially hesitant, he pushed past self-doubt and began sharing his music on social media, even shooting a music video for one of his songs, Love Life. His new goal is to combine music, merch, and motivation, using his platform to inspire others.Throughout the conversation, Tajay emphasizes that recovery is not easy, but it's worth it. He describes recovery as "armor"—something that protects him from life's hardships. He acknowledges that early recovery is overwhelming, especially when emotions come rushing back after years of numbing pain with substances. However, he encourages anyone on the fence about recovery to stick with it. His biggest message? "Don't quit before the miracle happens."Tajay's life is proof that even when things seem impossible, recovery can open doors you never imagined.Timestamps:00:00 – Intro & Tajay's background02:00 – Getting arrested & his first steps into recovery06:00 – How addiction shaped his friendships & how he had to change his circle10:00 – Finding education as a new path & becoming a leader on campus14:00 – The "Get Out of Here" mindset vs. realizing it's about changing yourself18:00 – Entrepreneurship, music, and using creativity in recovery23:00 – The moment he knew he had to go all in on sobriety28:00 – What he'd say to someone struggling: “Don't quit before the miracle happens.” ----Across the Web----

Inthis episode of Real Recovery Talk, we dive into two essential parts of early recovery: setting realistic goals and maintaining mental health. Starting out in sobriety often comes with a renewed sense of purpose, and setting goals can be exciting. But it's easy to get carried away with big plans and forget that staying sober is the top priority. We discuss how to create simple, achievable goals that support your recovery journey without adding too much pressure. We also talk about mental health—an area that's especially important in early sobriety. With emotions and challenges that come up, keeping your mind healthy is crucial. We'll share practical ways to take care of your mental health, like grounding techniques, finding healthy routines, and staying connected with people who support your journey. This episode is all about building a steady foundation in recovery so you can grow without losing sight of what matters most.

We delve into the signs and symptoms that often signal a potential relapse, discussing the subtle behavioral and emotional cues that can go unnoticed until it's too late. Drawing from the Big Book, we break down a key segment on relapse, offering insight into how it defines and addresses this issue. We also explore why relapse can sometimes happen even while someone is still in treatment. This insight is crucial for understanding the complexity of addiction and the ways that patterns of behavior and thought can persist, despite external support and resources. Our conversation doesn't stop there; we share practical tools and actionable strategies to help individuals strengthen their resilience against relapse. From building a support network to maintaining healthy routines, we provide a toolkit that can serve as a foundation for long-term sobriety. Tune in to learn how to spot the warning signs early, understand the psychology behind relapse, and empower yourself or your loved ones with the resources to stay on track.
