#131 | Never Stop Seeking | Matt’s Warstory

Why do we get sober? What happens to make us finally decide that something must be done? And what do we do if it seems like nothing is working? We try something else, that’s what.

This week’s episode is “never stop seeking” where we discuss the importance of finding something that works for you. Not only to get sober and also to continue to grow once you’ve experienced a life of sobriety. So many people find it in a fitness program, heavy spiritual practice, or intense self work; the point is we never stop. For us, it would seem there is now middle ground. Forward or backward, and that’s it.

We have an amazing story this week from Matt who shared with us what it was like before he finally decided to get sober. He inspired this topic through the telling of his journey. Matt kept searching until he found something that was going to work for him. A way of living, of being that kept him successful and continuing to grow. Matt is on fire!

Thanks Hellions! Remember you are the most important part of the show.
