Paige's Guide: When Behaviour Speaks Louder Than Substance

Episode Overview

  • Focus on behaviour over substance.
  • Trust your instincts and gut feelings.
  • Simplify understanding of addiction.
  • Prioritise personal well-being and safety.
  • Recognise patterns and harmful actions.
Stop focusing on the substance. Stop focusing on the apology without any action.
In this episode of Till The Wheels Fall Off, Paige Robinson takes the stage to remind us that sometimes, simplicity is the key to understanding. She passionately argues that addiction isn't just about substances—it's about behaviours. Paige emphasises that while we often get caught up in trauma and diagnoses, we should focus on how these behaviours affect us. She challenges listeners to question whether they feel safe in their relationships, regardless of substance use.
Through anecdotes and observations, Paige explores how people can act respectfully under the influence, while some sober individuals may still exhibit harmful behaviours. It's a call to stop excusing inexcusable actions and to trust one's instincts about what's right for them. Matt Robinson also chimes in with a story of a woman who relapsed simply because she wanted to get 'fucked up', highlighting how we often overcomplicate addiction by searching for deeper reasons when sometimes, the answer is straightforward.
Paige's candid reflections aim to empower listeners to prioritise their well-being, rather than focusing solely on the addict's journey. By recognising patterns and trusting gut feelings, she encourages listeners to value their own needs and safety. So, if you're seeking clarity and direction in a world that often overlooks personal boundaries, this episode might just be what you need to hear.
