If you want to call me selfish, then call me selfish. But you got a pretty effed up definition of what selfish is.
In this episode of 'Till The Wheels Fall Off', Matt and Paige Robinson tackle the often misunderstood concept of 'selfishness' in the context of self-care and recovery. With their combined experience in addiction recovery and mental health, they shed light on how acts that might be perceived as selfish are actually crucial for personal well-being. Ever felt guilty for setting boundaries or prioritising your needs?
Matt and Paige argue that what some label as selfishness is often a necessary step towards healing and maintaining sobriety. They compare it to a sandbag holding back a flood – essential for survival, not selfishness. Through engaging anecdotes and raw honesty, they discuss how setting boundaries and focusing on self-care can lead to better outcomes for everyone involved, including spouses and partners of those in recovery.
Matt shares his own journey, reflecting on how redefining selfishness helped him rebuild his life and relationships. Paige adds her perspective, emphasising the importance of understanding and supporting each other through the ups and downs of recovery.

So, if you're ready to rethink what it means to be 'selfish' and embrace self-care without guilt, this episode is a must-listen.
It's an eye-opening discussion that might just change how you view your own needs and boundaries.
