440 Back to Sobriety Basics: A Therapist's Guide to Your First 30 Days

Today I sit down with Brannon Patrick, co-host of the very popular podcast, "Therapy Brothers", and as you may have guessed, he and his brother-in-law are therapists! Brannon has spent 20 years treating addiction. I loved talking with him, not only because he really understands addiction but because he is also very compassionate. I feel like I found a new friend and I can't wait for you to meet him!

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.
