Is sobriety a punishment?

Ep #298: Is sobriety a punishment? This question was asked of a member of my Wise Mind Empowerment and Recovery Tribe, which meets on Slack. When I read this, my mind swirled with so many topics, as I have been asked this question many times when I speak at addiction recovery centers. What is the answer? Well, if there were a clearly defined explanation or solution to this thought process, we'd be robots and not the amazingly infinite human creatures we are. By the end of this episode, you will have many things to ponder upon. Is sobriety a punishment or a beautiful opportunity to achieve your most extraordinary life and highest potential and feel that fulfillment so many others promised you were waiting on the other side of this rainbow? If I can elicit this thinking, feeling, and behavior, your desire to seek your own answer - then I have continued the process of reframing your mind which I started 298 episodes ago.
