After Six Years of Sobriety... Here's What I Got WRONG

from You Would Think · host Josh Simcosky

What if some of the things you believe about recovery, grace, love, emotions, and even yourself… are wrong?On August 15th, 2020, I took my last drink.Six years later, I’ve learned a lot—but maybe more importantly, I’ve learned just how wrong I can be.So instead of celebrating six years of sobriety by telling you everything I’ve learned, I want to talk about something different:In this special six-year sobriety episode of You Would Think, I share six misconceptions that recovery, Scripture, and my relationship with Jesus have slowly dismantled.Together we’ll explore:✔️ Why sobriety is the bare minimum—not the goal✔️ Why recovery can actually make life harder before it gets better✔️ How people-pleasing and codependency can disguise themselves as love✔️ Why authentic grace doesn’t just forgive us—it transforms us✔️ Why honesty requires more than simply “telling the truth”Recovery hasn’t just taught me new things.It has dismantled old things.📖 KEY SCRIPTURE• Proverbs 8:34• Galatians 5:22-23🎙️ ABOUT YOU WOULD THINKYou Would Think is a podcast devoted to confronting our own thoughts and feelings so we can learn to face reality as it is instead of continuing to be disappointed by how we wish it was.We talk honestly about faith, recovery, addiction, codependency, people-pleasing, relationships, emotional health, biblical wisdom, boundaries, and what it looks like to follow Jesus in the real world.If this episode encouraged you, I’d love for you to:👍 Like the video💬 Leave a comment: What’s something you once believed that life, recovery, or God eventually showed you that you were wrong about?📲 Share this episode with someone who needs to hear it🔔 Subscribe so you don’t miss future episodes📬 Join the Newsletter:https://youwouldthink.riverside.com/newsletter🎙️ One-on-One Recovery & Mental Health Coaching:mailto:[email protected]#SixYearsSober #Sobriety #AddictionRecovery #Recovery #ChristianRecovery #FaithAndRecovery #Codependency #PeoplePleasing #EmotionalHealth #MentalHealth #ChristianPodcast #RecoveryPodcast #Jesus #Faith #PersonalGrowthMusic licensed through Soundstripe.Code: OQVVVE3SVPUZKFLW, UYXTGYVLBB7NBZU2
