In this episode Paul talks about what he has done to help him reach the 1 year sobriety milestone! Here are the core concepts he discusses.
Foundational core values:
- Accountability
- I cannot do this alone
- Creating an environment where people understand I don’t drink
- Little did I know it, but when I told my parents in their house boat in May 2014 how severe the issue was, I was creating accountability.
- Sending the text message to the fantasy football group
- Calling my friend Christina for help on Aug 29th
- Podcast – Obviously can’t
- Affirmation and repetition – constantly telling myself internally and out loud the same things. One day at a time. I’m not alone.
- Perspective. Sobriety is grounding and is the number one priority
- Bilingual – understanding when your addiction is talking is what it’s saying. Your addiction is lying to you in your own voice
- Comfort Zone – Do the circle exercise again
- Mental and physical health with diet and exercise
- HP Baby “O” be it prayer or meditation, be open to this Higher Power.
