When we focus on others, we are ignoring our own behaviors, right? Because really the only person we have the power to change is ourselves. Sometimes things go really great and other times they don't. So here are some simple ways to reduce your resentments.
Resentment can be a heavy burden, especially for those on the path to recovery. In this episode of 'You're Sober! Now What?', hosts Tamar Medford and Lane Kennedy tackle the often-overlooked issue of resentment in addiction and recovery. Tamar opens up about her early days in recovery, filled with negativity and resentment, and how these feelings not only affected her but also those around her.
She shares her journey of learning to let go and build a solid foundation for long-term sobriety. The episode dives into why holding onto resentments can be harmful and even risk relapse. Tamar offers practical tips and strategies to minimize these feelings, like looking at situations more realistically and understanding that we can only control our own actions. She emphasizes the importance of surrounding yourself with a supportive network to help work through these negative emotions.
One standout strategy Tamar suggests is starting each day with gratitude or appreciation voice memos. By focusing on positive thoughts about the people you might resent, you can gradually lessen those negative feelings. This episode is a must-listen for anyone in recovery or supporting someone who is, offering actionable advice to foster a more positive and fulfilling life.
