Welcome to the Awake and Sober Podcast, a podcast about Life in Recovery through Christ! We have a great episode for you this week as we discuss Balance in our 4th step. Often times when we look back at our lives we tend to only focus on the negative aspects or decisions we have made. Awake and Sober wants you to remember that not everything in your past has been bad. There have been plenty of good times so take note, and we hope that you are adding those to your 4th step! It is good to remind ourselves that we have done great things and there is plenty of good inside of us all! All of us here at Awake and Sober have completed a step 4 and we hope that after you watch, some of your worries will disappear and you can dive into what makes you, You!    We appreciate all of your support and as always... We hope you enjoy the show!   A mainstay of our recovery stories is being completely honest with our support teams but, most importantly, honest with ourselves. How do we do that? The answer is simple: we journal about our experiences, ideas, and goals. If you are anything like us, that means you journal A LOT and take a bunch of notes, so don't you deserve a great writing instrument? We think you do, and so does the sponsor of the Awake and Sober Podcast Tactile Turn.  If you have yet to use a Tactile Turn pen, let's be honest: are you even writing?!?   If you are struggling with a behavioral health crisis or suicidal ideation and need to talk with someone, please call or text 988.
