💫 'When Do You Stop Going To Meetings?'

When we come into the world of sobriety, we know nothing. We are products of the societies that raised us and shaped our belief system with things labeled good or bad, and right or wrong.

Once I had a firm foundation of sobriety, I had someone ask me, "when are you going to stop going to those meetings?" Others asked me when I was going to make something of my life.

So many people live their lives checking off boxes and following the pressure imposed on them by others. The truth is, we can’t disappoint anyone. People disappoint themselves with the expectations they set for whom they want us to be, or what they want us to do.

Are you fulfilling other people's expectations? Are you fulfilling your own needs? Hit reply and let me know.

Check out this week's inspiring recovery coaching about this, here, and enjoy the rest of this week's wrap up!

️Clean Cause with Wes Hurt

Wes, the founder of the Austin-based beverage company Clean Cause. He says it took over twenty years for him to start taking recovery seriously. He feels his story is typical of many people who have struggled with addiction, in that it started as experimenting, but evolved into an escape and obsession.
