Episode Overview
- 'One day at a time' should be used as a call to action, not an excuse for inaction.
- Shift from 'what if' scenarios to 'even if' plans to reduce anxiety.
- Build trust with partners through transparency and accountability.
- Focus on present actions and micro wins to achieve long-term change.
- Understand the importance of setting values-based boundaries.
Instead of 'what if,' say 'even if,' because you're going to be prepared for that 'even if,' not the 'what if.'
Curious about how others navigate their sobriety journey? This episode of 'Till The Wheels Fall Off' hosted by Matt and Paige Robinson takes a fresh look at the popular recovery mantra, 'One Day at a Time.' The duo, with over two decades of experience in addiction recovery and mental health, break down the phrase to reveal its true essence beyond its cliché status.
They discuss how 'one day at a time' can be a powerful call to action rather than a passive waiting game. Matt and Paige explore how this concept is often misunderstood, especially in relationships where one partner is in recovery. They stress the importance of turning 'what if' scenarios into 'even if' plans, which can transform anxiety into actionable steps.
Throughout the episode, Matt shares his personal experiences from his journey to sobriety, while Paige provides insights from the perspective of a spouse supporting a partner through recovery. The episode offers valuable strategies for setting boundaries, focusing on present actions, and building trust incrementally. As they discuss the challenges and rewards of recovery, Matt and Paige remind listeners that every small step taken today is a building block for a better tomorrow.
So, how do you take your journey one day at a time?
