159 | Sobriety Without Comparison: Your Recovery, Your Way


Listen Later

We all compare ourselves to others sometimes - no matter how hard we try not to. And in recovery, comparison can feel unavoidable. Whether it’s scrolling through social media, sitting in a meeting, or just noticing how someone else’s life looks... better, comparison can sneak in and leave us feeling “less than.”

In this episode, we're joined by Gina (Modern Day Monk) and Kristin (The Alcohol-Free Alchemist) to talk about how we find ourselves comparing our recovery to someone else's, and how it impacts the way we see ourselves. We're here with some honest conversation and some tips and tools to help you free yourself from comparison and start doing your recovery your way.

In this episode:

  • Why social media can fuel insecurity in sobriety.
  • The difference between comparison that inspires and comparison that destroys.
  • How to turn comparison into compassion.
  • Why your recovery will never look exactly like anyone else’s.
  • The one person you should compare yourself to.
  • "As soon as you start saying 'should'... you're comparing yourself."

    If you find it hard to stop comparing your recovery to someone else's, be sure to check out these episodes, too:
