Recovery Elevator | Stop Drinking, Start Recovering. | Alcohol, Addiction & Life In Sobriety

Today we have Tom, with a sobriety date of June 6, 2018.    We've all heard of FOMO, or the Fear Of Missing Out.  Today I want to talk to you about JOMO – the Joy Of Missing Out.  The Joy Of Missing Out is the emotionally intelligent antidote to FOMO, and is essentially about being present and content where you are at this moment in life.  Instead of constantly trying to keep up with the Jones', JOMO allows us to be who we are in the present moment, which is the secret to finding happiness. At the end of the episode I have a bunch of "You might be an alcoholic if…" lines.  Listeners I would love to hear your own "You might be an alcoholic if" lines.  Email them to [email protected] and put YMBAAI in the subject line.  SHOW NOTES [6:55] Paul Introduces Tom.
