In the last episode I was talking about how so many addicts, whether in active addiction or living sober in recovery, always seem to look outside themselves for an inspiring story. They never seem to realize their own story is as amazing as the ones giving leads at your local AA or NA meeting. I am not at all suggesting we shouldn’t listen to those people but we also shouldn’t sell ourselves short either.
In this episode, I go totally off the cuff with no outline. I am more than anything just reacting to a video I saw on YouTube Shorts and how what people in the comments were trash talking our life here and now in this present reality that we are in. Even addicts in recovery realize that we are here to gain experiences, to learn and grow. With as short as our lifespans are (on the cosmic scale anyway) we go through so much in such a short amount of time. The extremes in everything from environment to emotions can be hard to believe at times. It is not unlike the extremes in polarity between being in active addiction and sobriety. Whatever the case, we need to focus more on gaining experiences in this lifetime because what we take with us when we leave here will be knowledge and relationships gained, everything else will stay right here.
Much love and respect!

Your Own Story is Inspirational, The Sobriety Secret
Something on your mind? Send Matt a text here!
So often we, addicts, find ourselves looking outside of ourselves for inspiration to stay sober. Your story of sobriety is an amazing story of beating addiction and moving forward, so please don’t sell yourself short. In this episode, I talk about how we have got to stop wanting an amazing life and simply begin to BE what it is that we choose to be. Getting sober gave us an opportunity to reinvent ourselves and be the person that we choose to be. It allows us to not only shed that junkie mentality but to also adopt a new persona altogether. When coming up out of rock bottom at warp speed we are in a very unique position ini that we have an incredible amount of momentum in our lives already. Meaning, just by virtue of beating addiction and getting sober, we have generated upward momentum that we can then continue to ride and improve our lives at a rate of speed that is to be envied. Take advantage of this opportunity that sobriety has given you and continue to “Ride The Wave!”

Recovery From Nihilism, Life After Addiction
Something on your mind? Send Matt a text here!
In this episode of My Sober Addiction, I go a little further into the Kybalion. We begin to explore the possibility of none of this being real. As interesting of a subject as this may be, it can lead to a nihilistic attitude. I certainly am not trying to trigger anyone to relapse back into active addiction but to demonstrate how this realization can be very freeing. We’ve already broken free of addiction and now living sober lives, now we can break free from this physicality and break through to a truly spiritual life full of manifestation and mysticism and what seems at times like magic. We continue raising our vibration from when it was at all time lows of active addiction to much higher in sobriety and now onward still to amazing and inspiring lives.
