Our experience of time and how it affects our addiction recovery

Friday Oct 18, 2024

Ep #304: Wasted time or a wasted life? We can often start sobriety with much animosity toward the world and what it did to us that led us down this path of active addiction. As personal responsibility begins to take hold of you, you'll find that you start to accept responsibility for your actions. As that unfolds, you may then get angry with yourself for all the time you wasted being wasted. This energy can destroy your early enthusiasm toward your sobriety as the thoughts that you should have started this sooner or the feelings that you are just never going to figure it out root into your psyche.

None of this is truly true. Relapse is not inevitable. Failure is a mindset. Deciding that time spent then is not how you chose to spend time now and that you can not fast forward 7, 14, 28, 56, or 112 days (and beyond) into the future is a part of realizing that each day is your chance to make choices that lead you to where you want your sobriety and recovery to take you.

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.
