My Sober Addiction

  • Summary

  • This show is for drug addicts in recovery BY a heroin addict in recovery. Living with active addiction is hell and getting sober is an incredible accomplishment, but it doesn’t end there; we must then maintain our sobriety and assimilate into society as a normal, functioning, productive people…all while living sober dealing with triggers and cravings. Of course, addiction recovery does get easier, especially with a community of support. We can only go up from here, sobriety is an opportunity to shine and have an amazing, sober life, so let’s do it!

  • Addiction Doesn’t Care About Snowstorms, Isn’t It Nice cont.
    Jan 8 2025

    Something on your mind? Send Matt a text here!

    On this episodes of My Sober Addiction, I was inspired by the recent snowstorm to reflect back on my time in active addiction and remember how, even during a blizzard or an ice storm, I had to stay on the hustle to make sure I had dope for the next day. And then the next, etc. the madness doesn’t end. It doesn’t matter if there is a holiday going on or if the weather has turned treacherous and travel is nearly impossible, that monster, Addiction, must still be fed. So, isn’t it nice that we don't have to live that way any more? Isn’t it nice that we can stay home and be snowed in? I tell a few stories about some of the things that we all had to go through just to get to our drug and feed our addiction. Some things no sober person would ever do!
    If you have any particular stories in mind of some of the crazy things you had to do when you were in active addiction then please send those stories to me via the chat feature at the top of this description. Now that we are sober and living much happier and healthier lives, we can look back on some of those times and maybe laugh a bit but also realize how so appreciative we are for sobriety.
    ISN’T IT NICE???

  • Consciousness of the Rhythm of Addiction and Sobriety

    in this episode of My Sober Addiction, we take a tiny peek into Hermeticism and how the Principles of Polarity and Rhythm apply to our lives, particularly to addiction and sobriety. Even when we are living sober, addiction always seems to still pop in and say hello from time to time through temptation to relapse. The opposite was true, also. When we were in active addiction, sobriety always seemed to want to say hello occasionally, too, when we really felt that burning desire to get sober. The pendulum does swing back and forth from addiction to sobriety, and it will do so regardless of which end of it we are on. What’s dangerous is when we are not aware of this fact and we then ride along with it.
    In the Kybalion, it teaches the Law of Neutralization. This is when we become aware of the fact that the two polar opposites do flow back and forth in a rhythm, addiction and sobriety. Once we are aware of this, though, we can rise above it and not go back and forth with it. We can simply acknowledge that it is there, that sometimes we are more tempted than other times, and let it go. We do not have to ride that roller coaster any longer. It’s still there, yes, but now we, from above it all, can simply observe it and not participate in it.

  • Addiction n’ Holidays and Recovery n’ Gratitude n’ Stuff
    Dec 10 2024

    Something on your mind? Send Matt a text here!

    In this episode of My Sober Addiction, we are continuing with getting back to talking about addiction and recovery. The YouTube channel is where the metaphysical stuff will be from now on. Here, we are returning to talking about addiction, recovery, relapse prevention and moving on into our lives sober, happy and healthy, wealthy and free.
    During the holiday season (November and December) it is an excellent time for us to reflect back on our time in active addition and realize how far we’ve come. It really puts things into perspective. Remembering how life was back then when we couldn’t afford to buy gifts, or travel out of town to visit family, or anything that pulled us away from the 24/7 hustle that supplied our dope habits. Isn’t it nice that we do not have to live that way any more? Isn’t it nice that we can buy gifts and go out of town and spend time with family and just everything that goes with the holiday season that we weren’t able to do when we were still in active addiction? Recovery sounds even better when you look at it that way! Go on a little walk down Memory Lane with me in this episode and let’s be so very grateful for sobriety and all that it has done for us. Much love and respect!
