When I feel like there's that challenge, whatever that challenging thing is that rocks my world a bit,

that makes me want to have the equivalent of run up to the mountains, what I think that really is saying to me is where I think my life is together, it's an illusion.

I have nothing. Everything is awful. That's also not true. We don't learn when everything is comfortable. We learn when it's uncomfortable.

So this is the difference between I'm going to ignore what's uncomfortable for me,

versus I'm going to ignore really isn't relevant or I'm looking at that and saying,

yeah, I don't think that's either true or helpful. And that's a tough thing to filter out. But then how do we embrace the

discomfort? Because in any part of our life, that's where we learn is getting in that discomfort

phase.

Welcome to the Sober Friends podcast.

Here's a place if you're sober curious or if you have some sobriety and you need that meeting in a pocket.

Good place to be.

My name is Matt Jay over there.

Steve.

What's going on, Steve?

Not much, Matt. How are you doing this morning?

I'm doing well. I think I'm okay. I started doing a little research on what this topic could be

by going to Reddit and the A and the Alcoholics Anonymous subreddit. It's not a reddit run it's not a subreddit run by

a a itself it's just a discussion place and I jump in there from time to time to see what people

are saying and they and somebody who was 11 days sober mentioned about they're sober

but I don't know about this higher power thing and there were a

whole bunch of responses from you got to read we agnostics to no we have nox we have

nox not gnostic is really conversion therapy and I settled into take what you like and leave the rest.
