S1 | E30 - Finding Joy in the Midst of a Bad Headspace

Awake and Sober

Welcome back to the Awake and Sober Podcast!

This week we talk about finding joy in the midst of a bad headspace. What is a bad headspace? How does one fall into a bad headspace? How can one cope while dealing with a bad headspace? Finally, Ho does one get out of a bad headspace?

Every person on this show, host and guest alike, has dealt with some form of a bad headspace throughout life in active substance abuse, also in a life full of recovery. Mindsets like these do not discriminate. No matter where you come from or what you're doing in your life, a bad headspace can grab you and try to keep you inside yourself, alone and cut off from all forms of support.

On this episode we will talk about what we do in our lives of recovery in hopes that you can learn from our experiences, strength, and hope.

We hope you enjoy the episode and don't forget to email us at [e-mail] for any information or questions you might have!

A mainstay of all 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, then 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 we are happy to announce...
