I love featuring other Coaches, especially queer ones in recovery! In this episode, I interview my new friend Alex Garner, a Jay Shetty Certified Life Coach, about his journey to sobriety and the tools and techniques that helped him stay sober. Alex shares his experience with addiction to various substances, and how he finally found success in his fifth rehab stint. He discusses the importance of habits, neuroplasticity, and maintenance in maintaining sobriety. Alex also introduces his five-step morning routine, which includes emotional dumping, gratitude and bragging, life planning, affirmations and visualization, and doing one thing differently daily.
Takeaways
- Motivation is not a feeling, it's an action. The more you do it, the more you have of it.
- Finding practical tools and techniques that work for you is crucial in staying sober.
- Habits play a significant role in maintaining sobriety. They can be deleted, edited, or created to support a healthy lifestyle.
- Neuroplasticity allows for the rewiring of the brain and the creation of new habits.
- Maintenance is essential in sustaining sobriety, and additional support beyond traditional programs may be necessary.
- Alex's five-step morning routine, including emotional dumping, gratitude and bragging, life planning, affirmations and visualization, and doing one thing differently each day, has been transformative in his own sobriety journey. Self-reflection is a powerful tool for raising awareness and identifying areas for personal growth.
- Acceptance is not just about being okay with the way things are, but also about consenting to receive the gift of peace and self-worth.
