Ep. #290: Chasing the idea of "making up for lost time" in addiction recovery is a dangerous fallacy. In this episode, let's explore why recovery is a lifelong journey rather than a race against the clock. I'll discuss the unrealistic expectations and pressures this mindset can create, often leading to burnout and relapse. Emphasizing steady, incremental progress, it's critical for you to recognize the importance of self-acceptance and celebrating your small victories - which are probably more so perceived as small to the outside world but are VERY HUGE to you. You'll learn about setting realistic goals, prioritizing self-care, rebuilding relationships over time, understanding why quality of recovery matters more than speed, and how to adopt a sustainable, long-term approach to sobriety and personal growth.

Just hit play, and let's dive in with open minds and hearts—you are in the right place, at the right time—right now.
