EP001: Transforming the Addiction Journey with the Sober Sidekick App

The Never Alone Podcast

Imagine feeling like you're the only one fighting the battle against addiction, only to find a community that understands and supports you. Our guest today, Chris, founder of the Sober Sidekick app, shares how his tool is connecting people globally, making them feel less isolated and more empowered during their recovery journey. We delve into the importance of expressing our feelings honestly, and we challenge the defensive phrase "I'm ok," discussing how it often conceals deeper battles with addiction. We are also given an insight into the touching comeback stories on the platform that serve to inspire and motivate those in recovery.
Breaking free from isolation and building meaningful connections with others is a critical part of recovery. In our conversation with Chris, we discuss how acknowledging and dealing with internalized guilt and shame can significantly aid recovery. Chris shares the benefits of various recovery programs like Alcoholics Anonymous and Celebrate Recovery, emphasizing the importance of finding a supportive community. We end the conversation on a motivational note - reminding you that focusing on the present and remembering that your toughest climb can lead to your most beautiful view. This episode is a treasure trove of inspiration, empathy, and motivation for anyone on the journey of recovery.
