Recovery Discovery by Show Up and Stay

the "4 agreements" episode (feat. nathan van dyke)


Listen Later

A few years before I got sober I went to a Psych PA about the potential of starting antidepressants. After just a brief conversation with me she assessed that I had a value problem and needed to read "The Four Agreements".  She was VERY confident. She wasn't necessarily wrong, but......

In today's episode, Nate and I chat about one of our favorite accessible recovery reads, the Four Agreements.

  • Be impeccable with your word 
  • Don't take anything personally 
  • Don't make assumptions 
  • Do your best 

There are a  few problematic things that I speak to at that end, but overall this is an action oriented way of living that has some easily adoptable concepts.  Easy in theory,  not as easy in practice!
