In this episode, I explore the gifts of both sobriety and stroke recovery. Inspired by Debra Meyerson's book, "Identity Theft," I have realized that it is not only possible but encouraged to find greater happiness post-stroke than before.
I begin the episode by reflecting on the gifts sobriety has given me—stronger and healthier relationships, reduced anxiety, and a newfound appreciation for activities I once only enjoyed drunk. These gifts have reshaped my life, providing a foundation of joy that I never new was possible.
Later, I discuss how stroke recovery has unexpectedly granted me the gift of time. This gift has allowed me to indulge in hobbies, practice self-care, and spend lots of it training and playing with my puppies. It's even led to a cleaner house!
I encourage you to recognize and embrace the gifts in your own recovery journey, despite the challenges you may face. It's all we have—we only have today. Let's celebrate the unexpected gift that come from our most difficult times.
