Accountability - Stop Blaming Everyone Else for Your Crappy Life | Episode 36
What’s up, you glorious chaos agents? It’s Michael, your Sober Psychology host—psychologist in training, sober warrior, and the guy who’s done with your excuses.
In this episode, I’m tearing into accountability like a Pitbull on a rawhide bone. Tired of your life feeling like a bad reboot of a ‘90s sitcom? That’s because you’re dodging responsibility harder than a politician at a lie detector test.
Join me for 25 minutes of raw, no-BS truth backed by science and my own decade of clawing out of addiction’s grip. I’m breaking down why you suck at owning your mistakes, how to stop playing the victim, and what psychology says about taking charge of your life. From locus of control to self-determination theory, I’m serving hard-hitting insights with a side of dark humor that’ll make you laugh, cry, and maybe finally text your boss, “Yeah, I messed up.” Expect gut-punches, actionable tips, and zero coddling.
🔥 Why watch? Because blaming your ex, your job, or your horoscope isn’t fixing your life—it’s just making you louder about it. Hit play to learn how to own your garbage and start living like you mean it. Drop a comment with the dumbest excuse you’ve made lately—I’m calling you out.
