Episode description

I want you to ask yourself this question: Are you happy?  

If you were to measure the success of your recovery by joy and fulfillment instead of sober days accumulated, would you consider your recovery a success right now?

When I started asking people this, they will point to events in their life that made them happy, but if I ask them if they were to think of a day that didn’t have things on the outside going right, would they still feel happy?

Surprisingly, the more people I asked this question to in recovery, also had the same realization I did that night after receiving my five-year chip.  That I was not happy even though I was staying sober.

In today's episode, I want to discuss the steps I took from being lost in a life where I was sober but unfulfilled, and how I have transformed my life into one today that is filled with joy, happiness, and fulfillment.
