Today’s question is: Can you get sober for someone else?
There is a lot of debate around the idea of getting sober for someone else. In this episode, I have a conversation with Paul Summers Jr, who is a returning guest. He is the author of “Hide and Seek: A Dad’s Journey from Soulless addiction to sole custody”.
In this episode Paul shares his story of drug addiction, how he got sober for his daughter, and the fight to save her from an addict mother.
Before we jump in, I wanted to share an idea that has really helped a lot of my clients as they work towards breaking old behavior patterns and achieving really big goals, and that is the Law of 51%. It’s easy to feel overwhelmed by changes that you want to make or goals you want to achieve. That feeling of overwhelm can keep you from taking action, which keeps you feeling stuck. Think of a balance scale and what it takes to tip the balance. It’s just a little more on one side than the other! So the law of 51% states that all you need to tip the scale, is just a little more progress in the direction you’re headed in. The big take away here is that you are closer to your goal than you think! With some tools, support and a little practice, you can reach that goal you have been struggling with.
This is just one of the lessons from my 6 week class called “Reinvent Yourself”. Listen, we all know what to do, but we just don’t do it. Why? The answer is resistance. The magic is that we do the exercises together in class to break through that resistance and help you build momentum.
Class starts Oct 3 at 6pm PST. I only teach this class 3 times per year and space is very limited, so don’t miss out! As a little incentive, if you sign up by Friday, you can bring a friend for free! To register, head on over to selfesteemcourse.com.
So that’s it for announcements! Please enjoy this episode, with Paul!
