If you spend time trying to convince yourself or your loved ones that you don't have a problem, well, chances are you have a problem, and it's a beautiful thing.
Ever found yourself thinking, 'I'm not that bad, yet'? It's a slippery slope many in addiction recovery face. In this eye-opening episode of Real Recovery Talk, host Tom Conrad gets candid about the dangerous game of self-comparison. He shares his own story of sitting at the bar, convinced he didn't have a problem because others seemed worse off. But those 'yet' moments—like getting a DUI or losing a job—often sneak up when least expected.
Tom dives into how this mindset can trap you in denial, making it harder to seek the help you need. If you're telling yourself that things aren't 'that bad', it might be time for a reality check. Tom's raw and relatable anecdotes make this episode a must-listen for anyone grappling with addiction or supporting someone who is. Don't let the 'yet' get you.
Tune in and find out why acknowledging your struggles sooner rather than later can lead to a healthier, more fulfilling life.
