It’s natural for individuals in early sobriety to feel a certain “fear of missing out” or FOMO. This fear can grip those leaving addiction behind, as they watch their peers continue their habits and indulgences. However, embracing the “joy of missing out,” or JOMO became a vital part of sobriety for many, and it can be the key to successful recovery. Here’s a firsthand account of one such journey.
Brian Cuban is a voice worth listening to in this particular discourse. Having his own history of struggling with alcohol and cocaine addiction, he made it through the University of Pittsburgh School of Law and a practicing attorney tenure before embracing the road to recovery on April 8, 2007.
The Addicted Lawyer is his platform, where he not only draws from personal experiences but also welcomes narratives from other professionals battling various forms of addiction. Cuban is also the author of the Amazon best-selling book, “The Addicted Lawyer: Tales Of The Bar, Booze, Blow & Redemption”.
This, along with his public speaking engagements, is a comprehensive endeavor to shed light on addiction recovery beyond just the legal profession. Switching from FOMO to JOMO isn’t an effortless process, but it’s a remarkable resilient approach towards recovery that is worth discussing in law firms and corporate houses worldwide.
