Most people think recovery is just about holding on.
Staying sober.
Getting through the day.
But that’s not the whole story.
In this episode of Recovered and Motivated, we’re talking about the part of recovery that doesn’t get enough airtime—the joy that starts to return when you stop surviving and start truly living.
Not fake happiness.
Not “everything’s perfect now” energy.
But real, grounded joy—the kind that comes from clarity, self-respect, connection, and finally feeling present in your own life again.
If you’re early in recovery, this episode will remind you why staying matters.
If you’re in the middle of it, it’ll help you recognize how far you’ve already come.
And if you’re struggling or on the fence, it might change how you see sobriety altogether.
Recovery isn’t a punishment.
It’s permission.
Permission to feel.
Permission to grow.
Permission to build a life you don’t want to escape from.
If you’ve ever wondered whether real joy is possible in recovery…
this episode is for you.
