Don't waste your energy in trying to please other people. You don't have the time or the resources or the efforts to put towards a relationship.
Imagine just starting your journey to sobriety and feeling the pull to dive into a new relationship. Sounds tempting, right? In this episode of 'Real Recovery Talk', host Tom Conrad shares why this might not be the best idea. Drawing from his own experiences and those of others in recovery, Tom sheds light on why early relationships can be a stumbling block for those newly clean.
He talks about the emotional and mental bandwidth needed for recovery and how focusing on oneself is crucial during this time. Tom highlights the common pitfall of substituting one addiction for another, urging listeners to avoid jumping into relationships too soon. Instead, he emphasizes the importance of building a strong support system and forming a relationship with a higher power. With his candid insights, Tom provides a compelling argument for why self-focus should be the priority in early recovery.
This episode is a must-listen for anyone navigating the tricky waters of early sobriety.
