Embracing Flexibility: Why Rigidity Can Harm Your Recovery Journey
“Rigidity always hurts in my mind, and you know I love the steps. But I find sometimes, and you know, no shade, I'm not throwing any shade right now. And I know a lot of people who are stuck and are so rigid. They absolutely freak out and I'm like, that's no way to live, that's no way to live, that's not steps either.”
