Early Sobriety - Am I Ever Going To Feel Better?

For the month of August the co-hosts of The Bubble Hour are taking a break to refresh, renew and focus on our own self-care.  We will be back in mid-September with a fresh new format!  Until then, we are re-broadcasting some of our most popular and informative episodes.

Early sobriety can be challenging in many ways - lots of ups and downs and experiencing emotions for the first time without the numbing effects of alcohol.  On this episode we discuss tools and tips for getting through those first few days, weeks and months of recovery.

Speaker Discussion "Meeting" with Lisa N. (Co-Founder and Former Co-Host of The Bubble Hour)

In recovery meetings it is common practice for one person to share their experience, strength and hope and then to pick a recovery topic for the group to discuss. We thought it would be great to recreate that concept here on The Bubble Hour. Hearing that there are other people just like us...with the same experiences, thoughts and feelings is revolutionary.  Our featured guest on this show is a voice many of you will recognize - Lisa N., one of the founders and former Co-Host of The Bubble Hour.

Accepting Acceptance

We hear often that acceptance is key in both getting sober and staying sober.

But what does this really mean?  What does acceptance mean to you? 

We know that in order to get sober, we must accept that we are powerless over drugs and/or alcohol. 

But even during sobriety, accepting things we do not have control over - which turns out is all people, places and things - is critical to maintaining recovery.

In this show we talk all about Acceptance:  why it is important, how it can be elusive, what gets in the way of acceptance, what it means to us, tools we use to find acceptance, how we know when we're not accepting something and what we do to get it back. 

We also share stories of times lack of acceptance has made us struggle or suffer, and share our experiences with times acceptance has helped us not just stay sober but maintain a healthy recovery.
