Episode Overview
- Relapse is a misnomer, and the behavior is a signal to pause and reflect.
- The concept of recreating the exact conditions of a past event is impossible.
- Understanding the power of perception and reframing language is crucial in breaking free from addictive behaviors.
- The episode challenges the traditional view of relapse and encourages a shift in perspective.
- Embracing unique life experiences and refraining from drawing a dot-to-dot picture of events is empowering.
Relapse does not exist. Something simply happened. The less you can make a dot to dot picture out of it, the more you can expand your vision and see the rest of the blank page and everything else that's happening in your life.
Picture this: What if relapse wasn't the villain in your recovery story? In this episode of 'Alive and Free,' Bob Gardner flips the script on what it means to relapse. Instead of viewing it as a failure, Bob encourages listeners to see it as a signal from their brain that something in life needs a tweak.
With his trademark blend of tough love and humor, Bob dives into why the language we use around relapse can trap us in a cycle of guilt and shame. He suggests that by changing our vocabulary, we can change our reality. Bob shares his own experiences and those of the people he's coached, illustrating how labeling an event as a 'relapse' can be more harmful than helpful.
He argues that each moment is unique and can't be replicated, so why should we try to recreate past mistakes? Instead, Bob invites us to celebrate these moments as opportunities for growth and self-reflection. Throughout the episode, Bob challenges the conventional wisdom surrounding addiction and habits. He dismantles the idea that willpower alone is the key to overcoming compulsive behaviors. Instead, he offers practical advice on how to harness your internal power to make lasting changes.
By reframing how we think about our actions and their underlying messages, Bob provides a roadmap for personal transformation. If you're tired of the same old narratives about addiction and want to explore a new way of thinking, this episode is for you. Bob's insights will leave you questioning everything you thought you knew about relapse and addiction. Tune in for a refreshing perspective that could change your life.
