I've been there, and I'm here to tell you - it's all part of the journey.Here's what I want to share with you:1. The past is gone, folks. Dwelling on it? That's just wasting your precious present.2. Even when life feels like it's kicking you down, remember - this feeling will pass. It always does.3. Keep your eyes peeled for those little moments of unexpected joy. They're everywhere if you look for them.4. Those small, joyful moments? They're not just nice to have - they're signs you're on the right path. Use them as fuel to keep going.5. Cherishing small victories isn't just feel-good advice - it's a survival strategy in sobriety.I'll be honest with you - I still find myself in this loop sometimes. One minute I'm excited about life, the next I'm feeling like my old, alcohol-addicted self. But you know what? That's okay. Because each time it happens, I'm getting better at recognizing it and pulling myself back to the present.If you're struggling with addiction, trying to stay sober, or just looking to live a more present life, this episode is for you.
