64. Debunking Sobriety Myths for Recovery Awareness Month with Nikki Spo

Join me this week as I debunk some common sobriety myths in celebration of Recovery Awareness Month!Soundbites you don't want to miss:"Today I have 2 years and 5 months of continuous sobriety. That is 885 days to be exact, one day at a time.""The CDC published a study that revealed that 3 in every 4 addicts who seek treatment are able to live in recovery.""From my own personal experience, I have observed that alcoholism is often a self-diagnosed disease.""Working a program of recovery, I wholeheartedly believe that people can and do change when they want to.""Sobriety has been a lot more fun for me than when I was actively drinking. Kicking alcohol actually helped me with my social anxiety.""I guess I thought that admitting that I am an alcoholic meant me admitting that I am bad. Which is a really scary narrative to put on myself. But... I discovered that it is quite the opposite. I KNOW in my soul that I am not BAD."Connect with me:www.nikkispo.com@nikkisappspo / @theknowwithnikkispo--- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/nikki-spo/supportSupport this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/the-know-with-nikki-spo/donationsAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
