How forgetting is sobriety’s greatest ally

2024-05-12

Ep #287: Most of us will not remember today over any other day. Most days are just another day in our lives. When you allow your emotions in the moment to dictate your behaviors, you can betray the promises you've made to yourself. Here's the deal. We forget so much about our lives. It's part of the brain's ability to store things in the unconscious so every little detail of our lives doesn't burden our conscious. So use this to your advantage when your life wants you to make the hard decision. To not use, to not drink, to not gamble, shop, porn, eat your life away - make the hard decision at the moment because you won't remember this day in three days, seven days, or 27 days from now anyway. Make the decision that moves you forward and start deciding right now that your emotions are not in control of you. You are in control of them. You are in control of your mind. Therefore, you are in control of your results.

Sobriety isn't easy. Hell, life isn't easy. It is our perspective that dictates to us our perception. Decide today to do the hard thing because you will forget today one day anyway. Your future self will thank you and love you for doing the hard thing.

Just hit play, and let's dive in with open minds and hearts—you are in the right place, at the right time—right now.
