The grass is greenest where we are standing. It doesn't mean the lawn doesn't require watering and edge trimming but still we must care for our own yards instead of looking at our neighbors.
Ever caught yourself gazing over the fence, thinking your neighbor's lawn looks way greener? This episode of 'A is for Alcoholic' dives into the all-too-familiar trap of comparison and its sneaky ways of derailing recovery. Hosts John and Jerry get real about how comparing ourselves to others can mess with our minds and our progress.
They kick things off by reminding us that the grass is greenest where we water it, even if it needs a bit of trimming now and then. The duo shares personal stories of how they've fallen into the comparison pit and the steps they've taken to climb out. From recognizing triggers to embracing self-reflection, they offer practical tips for staying focused on your own journey.
They also touch on the paralyzing effects of self-pity and how it can become an excuse to avoid making changes. By the end of the episode, you'll feel encouraged to live in the moment and redefine your path in a positive light. So, grab your headphones and get ready for an honest, down-to-earth chat about keeping your own grass green.
