"The Next Frontier: Emotional Sobriety"

The alcoholic and addict is not only dependent on drugs or alcohol. Top approval, perfect security, perfect romance...demands we place on people and life that cannot and will not happen.

Life doesn't work that way. 

In this episode we look to decipher Bill W's lesser known view on Emotional Sobriety–and the incredible risk we take when making absolute demands on life and our loved ones. Emotional Sobriety requires a great deal of humility. And if we approach this aspect of our lives with care, we can achieve emotional serenity.

Luckily, there is an exercise we can practice to achieve this special kind of sobriety: The Healing Circuit. Listen to the episode to learn more!

Without this principle of success a person will be completely unable to succeed at any endeavor.

With it you can move mountains...but you have to truly WANT what you're working toward. For alcoholics and addicts, this means that we must WANT to get sober and clean in order to succeed in sobriety.

Many people resist recovery once they realize how much hard work it takes to get sober. Good intentions are not enough...

This episode explores how hard we work when seeking the next drink or drug–we're always willing to go to any length to get it! Why is this? Because we WANT it.

So to get sober, the want to change your life must come first. Learn how to move the mountains in your life and really understand the meaning of...

"Rarely have we seen a person fail who has thoroughly followed our path. Those who do not recover are people who cannot or will not completely give themselves to this simple program..."

Today we bring Quantum Physics into Recovery by comparing the way humans interpret sound–to the way we interpret hardship.

If a tree falls in the forest, it would only make a sound if you're present to hear the fall. Because in order for sound to be heard, our eardrum must be there to interpret the sound waves.

The same goes for hardship...

Growing up, I didn't know I grew up poor until a social worker explained that I lived on the wrong side of the tracks, that I lacked what others had.

Until then, I thought my life was wonderful. I had never heard or thought any differently. And this brought me to a crossroads...

My hardship (poverty) could be interpreted as an excuse to drink, drug, and act out (because I was just Poor Bill), or I could use it as motivation to thrive in life, to be happy and do good.

Listen to find out how the story ends, this episode will help you examine how well you respond to hardships in your own life!
