In this episode of the Sober Butterfly podcast, Nadine discusses with guest Chris about his book and his journey through addiction to sobriety. Chris candidly talks about how his excessive drinking led to professional struggles, a strained marriage, and neglecting his relationship with his young son. He shares that his transformation began with his decision to get sober, leading him to attend rehab and participate in AA meetings, though he struggled with the concept of a higher power. Chris detailed his post-rehab challenges, including his wife's request for a separation and dealing with loneliness and suicidal thoughts. He emphasizes mindfulness and breathing exercises as crucial tools in maintaining sobriety. Their discussion covers his methods of sustaining a healthy lifestyle, such as decluttering his space, redefining his values, and visualizing the person he wants to become. Chris concludes by highlighting the importance of resilience, support from loved ones, and making personal amends. He is currently working on his book 'Live Unshakable: Getting Your Shit Together,' aiming for a March release.
