In this episode of My Sober Addiction we are joined by my friend, Clive Wilson, who hosts the podcast Breaking My Addictions. Clive is an innovator and approaches addiction and recovery in a totally fresh, new way. In addition to his podcast, he has a very strong presence online through his multiple websites. For example, the Breaking My Addictions website has some features that anyone interested in recovery, relapse prevention and sober living need to check out.

We dig into Clive’s mind a bit and see how he got started and what drives his passion for understanding addiction and all that it entails. He is very straight forward and looks at things in a very practical way that can easily be incorporated into daily life. He is developing new ways, new strategies, to confront addiction and put it in your rear view. I recommend going to the Breaking My Addictions website and exploring some of his ideas. To me, Clive is more of a “roll with it” kind of guy. Meaning, instead of fighting that monster toe to toe, use its own strength against it and allow it to beat itself. With that out of the way, we are left with confronting ourselves and what we need to do with our own lives to make addiction irrelevant…or at least not so dominant. Shifting our focus. When we do that, all we have left to conquer is ourselves. That’s still no easy task but at least we’ve knocked it down to I against I. Much love and respect!

In this episode of My Sober Addiction, we delve into the memories of active addiction that we sometimes find ourselves reflecting on when we are in recovery. It’s sometimes hard to find understanding and support outside of ourselves. We need to remember that our own stories are inspiring and that we have came so very far and in a surprising short amount of time. The momentum generated just from the act of getting sober and beginning sober living is immense and definitely not something to overlook.

I analyze the bonus episode that dropped midweek and how it shows us how far we have came. Your own story is inspirational, don’t short change yourself. You’ve accomplished so much since the moment you decided once and for all to kick addiction, get into recovery and live a sober lifestyle. That train called Momentum took off like a rocket so, Ride That Wave!

Maybe this is podcasting career suicide. Maybe it’s not. If you have never heard an episode of My Sober Addiction before then maybe check out a few other episodes before this one. This one is very impromptu, unplanned, not prepared for and completely unedited. I had just reread 4 chapters in my upcoming memoir of my time in active addiction and it really took a heavy toll on me so i recorded this on the fly. This is something I’ve never done before.

In this “episode” of My Sober Addiction…well, it isn’t really an episode but more just me pouring out my feelings after going through and rereading 4 chapters of the upcoming memoir of my time in active addiction. I put those chapters into an AI editor for some feedback and then had to read the chapters. WOW! All those memories came crashing down on me and I just had to vent. So, I grabbed the microphone and…well, this happened. I decided to not edit it at all, I didn’t even add the intro or outro. I hope this isn’t your first experience with My Sober Addiction but if it is, please check out some other episodes before passing judgement.
