No Alcohol Needed: The Podcast

E24: Comparing Ourselves to Others


Listen Later

In this episode, we talk with Dan, Liz, and Alex about comparing ourselves to others, and how that affects our recovery. A lot of self worth issues - the ones we used to drink away - stem from comparing ourselves to other people. We get honest and share some of our stories where comparing ourselves to others led us to unhealthy emotions, and we also talk about some of the ways we've learned to stop comparing ourselves so we can live with confidence.

Some of the points we cover include:

  • Feeling out of place in social situations
  • Making assumptions about what others are thinking about us
  • Shame and the role it plays in social comparison
  • Figuring out who we are now that we are in recovery
  • Surrounding yourself with the right people
  • Seeking external validation
  • Comparing ourselves to others on social media
  • Allowing comparison to paralyze us
  • Feeling like a failure or a fraud
  • Vulnerability and its place in self worth
  • Julie mentions Brene Brown in this episode. Learn more about Brene and the incredible research she does about emotions at brenebrown.com

    "The only true comparison is the one to ourselves."
