In this episode, we revisit a topic that frequently comes up in discussions of recovery—perfectionism. Our world is obsessed with the notion that you will only lead a happy life if you succeed in everything. Unfortunately, when we internalize this mindset, we set ourselves up for failure. In the addiction world, this means that every relapse is treated as failure, and that every time you slip up, you are back to square one. Breaking from perfectionism can aid you in your recovery journey.
