What if getting sober feels like standing on the edge of a 30-foot cliff—terrified, frozen, and unable to trust what’s waiting on the other side?
After returning from an unforgettable recovery trip to Cherokee, Corey shares how his fear of jumping from a cliff reminded him of the fear he experienced when he first walked into a recovery meeting. He watched other people take the leap safely, but fear still prevented him from following them. Early recovery can feel exactly the same.
You may see millions of people living sober, rebuilding relationships, succeeding in business, and enjoying lives they never thought possible—but taking that first step still requires courage, trust, and a willingness to ask for help.
Corey also shares stories from whitewater rafting, tubing down the river, fishing, fellowship, and spending the weekend with an incredible group of men in recovery. These experiences demonstrate an important truth: sobriety isn’t the end of your life. It can be the beginning of a life filled with genuine friendships, new adventures, spiritual growth, and real freedom.
In this episode, Corey discusses:
Recovery requires work. You may have apologies to make, consequences to face, money to repay, and painful truths to confront. But the life waiting on the other side can be greater than anything you currently believe is possible.
You don’t have to overcome every fear today. You only have to take the next step, raise your hand, admit that you need help, and allow someone to show you the path forward.
If this episode gives you hope, share it with someone who is struggling, considering sobriety, or having a difficult time in recovery.
