KEY TAKEAWAYS
Sobriety is a day-to-day journey that requires managing thoughts and emotions in real-time. Understanding the underlying reasons for addiction and cravings can help overcome them. Focusing on the freedom and benefits of sobriety rather than feeling like one is missing out can shift the mindset. Childhood experiences and trauma can contribute to addictive behaviors and the need for escapism. Finding a creative outlet or engaging in a challenging activity can provide purpose and help in recovery.BEST MOMENTS
"I want to get fucked up and start acting like a complete knob." "Once you understand this, you can stop yourself from pressing the 'Fuck you' button and going for the drink or the drugs." "You're free from it. You're not missing it." "The better you treat yourself, the better you're going to treat everyone else." "When you start becoming confident in yourself and giving yourself self-love, they'll want to shag you anyway."
