When we get sober we're very easily influenced. We're influenced by a lot of external things, and if we allow ourself to continue to be influenced by external things, then it ultimately takes away from what we're trying to accomplish, which is long term sobriety, building a solid foundation of sobriety, having healthy relationships with people.
Imagine trying to juggle everyone's expectations while battling addiction. It's a recipe for disaster. In this eye-opening episode of 'Real Recovery Talk', host Tom Conrad flips the script on what it means to be selfish during recovery. Tom argues that in the early stages of sobriety, it's crucial to prioritize your own well-being over others' demands. This might sound counterintuitive, but he explains how external pressures can easily derail your progress if you're not careful.
By focusing on your own needs first, you build a strong foundation for long-term sobriety and healthier relationships down the line. Tom also explores the natural transition from being self-focused to becoming more altruistic as you grow stronger in your recovery journey. Whether you're just starting out or supporting someone who is, this episode offers invaluable insights into why sometimes, you need to be a little selfish to succeed.
