In this episode of My Sober Addiction we are revisiting the idea of being mindful of those traits, those tendencies, we had during active addiction. The thing is, if we really look back on life before and after active addiction, we realize that those traits are part of who we are. We carry them over into life when we are sober in our jobs, exercise and heath, relationships, hobbies, etc. We have to be aware of our mental state and not allow burn out to set in and risk relapse.
In the past, I’ve said that i would recommend someone hire addicts in recovery because of how dedicated they are. Of course that comes with a price to the addict in recovery, you may have higher expectations placed on you to maintain and prove your sobriety. Does that not sound fair? Maybe it isn’t but it’s just the way it is. Unfortunately, addicts do relapse and when they do…well, let’s just not do that.
