How to Not be Bored, with Stephen Grant

So you got clean and sober - great! …Now what? How does a person transition from the excitement and upheaval of early recovery into a more stable long-term recovery? What do you do in long term sobriety when the comfort of stability starts to feel like the tortures of boredom? How does a person find their most important values, and the community to support them? Stephen Grant is a Certified Sex Addiction Therapist, and a Relational Therapist, at Gracefall Counseling in Vancouver, Washington. He draws on his experiences as a counselor, and many more experiences in recovery, to share stories and insights into how to survive - and thrive - through the many seasons of sobriety life. Stephen and Rhys talk about what Relational Therapy is, and how the basics of emotional attunement and active listening never get old. We talk about how sobriety is much more than just stopping an unhealthy behavior; sobriety is all about finding new things to do, new purpose, and living into a marvelous vision for our lives.  This podcast relies on the partnership of listeners - especially with dollars!
