Stop identifying yourself with your addiction. You develop an identity and a sense of self. So relax, take a deep breath, know who you are, away from that addiction and stay happy.
Imagine trying to rebuild your life, only to find yourself caught in a cycle of obsessive self-monitoring. In this episode of Addicts' Corner, Oluwatobiloba Davies tackles the fine line between healthy self-awareness and harmful obsession in addiction recovery. He discusses how creating a schedule can be a powerful tool for progress, but warns against the pitfalls of watching every move you make. This constant scrutiny can lead to feelings of guilt, anger, and shame, which are counterproductive to healing.
Instead, Davies encourages listeners to focus on building a new identity beyond their addiction. It's about finding a balance—acknowledging your progress without letting the fear of failure take over. The episode dives deep into the emotional roots of addiction, emphasizing the importance of self-reflection without self-resentment. Davies also highlights the significance of community support and faith in this journey.
If you're struggling with obsessive behaviors or looking for ways to strengthen your recovery, this episode offers practical advice and emotional support. Tune in for a compassionate discussion that aims to help you break free from the cycle of addiction and find your true self.
