This is a back-to-basics episode. So whether you're at the beginning of your sobriety journey or you want to prevent a relapse, this episode is for you.

In today's episode, you'll learn:

- Why the right intention matters more than willpower

- Why you need outside support and other voices in your first 30 days

- Why big life decisions should wait until after year one

- The Five A's for handling a craving: aware, accept, acknowledge, assess, act

- Why treating your addiction like a frenemy, not an enemy, can reduce shame

One more thing I have to share before we jump in, is I now have 50 Beta users for the ReInvent manifestation journaling app! I am already getting exciting feedback. Yolanda is my number 1 user and she reported the biggest win since I launched the app. She told me "Some really good things have happened, and it could be a coincidence, but I just signed a new client that had been stalling, with a contract value of $2,500/mo!" I'm so happy for her! Great work Yolanda!

If you want to experience the power of manifestation journaling, you can still get a free trial by visiting getreinvent.app

So without further delay, please enjoy this episode with Brannon.
