Planning your neglect now...focus on what really matters...neglect the things that aren't going to help you succeed. All this stuff comes, but it only comes if we stay sober.
What if neglecting certain aspects of your life could actually help you stay sober? In this thought-provoking episode of 'Real Recovery Talk', hosts Tom Conrad and Ben explore the counterintuitive idea that sometimes, to build a solid foundation for sobriety, you need to let go of distractions. Inspired by a devotional from John Maxwell, they delve into how focusing too much on external noise—like jobs, careers, and relationships—can derail your recovery journey.
When you're fresh out of treatment, it's crucial to prioritize what truly matters: staying sober. The hosts break down practical strategies for 'planned neglect', showing how you can make intentional choices to ignore what's less important so you can concentrate on your recovery. Tom and Ben share personal anecdotes and real-life examples to illustrate how neglecting certain things can actually pave the way for a stronger, more focused path to sobriety.
If you've ever felt overwhelmed by the myriad of distractions in life, this episode offers a refreshing perspective on how to cut through the noise and focus on what truly matters. Tune in for actionable advice and heartfelt stories that will inspire you to rethink your approach to sobriety.
