'Expectations are premeditated resentments',
Ever feel like you're on a never-ending loop of sobriety and relapse? Angela Pugh, the savvy sober entrepreneur and host of Addiction Unlimited, breaks down the top three pitfalls that can sabotage your sobriety in this enlightening episode. With over a decade of experience, Angela shares her no-nonsense approach to overcoming these hurdles and offers practical steps to help you stay on track. She begins by addressing unrealistic expectations, highlighting how expecting quick fixes can lead to disappointment and resentment.
Her mantra, 'Expectations are premeditated resentments', sets the tone for a deeper understanding of why patience and realistic goals are crucial in the recovery journey. Angela's second point focuses on the lack of direction. She emphasises the importance of having a solid plan and support system, likening it to creating a toolbox filled with strategies and resources.
Whether it's swapping your usual hangout spots or setting up a new routine, Angela's advice is all about making intentional choices that align with your sobriety goals. Finally, she tackles the misconception of cravings. It's not the drink you're after, she explains, but the escape from uncomfortable feelings. By labelling these emotions and finding healthier ways to cope, you can break free from the cycle of numbing and avoidance.
Angela's candid anecdotes and relatable examples make this episode a must-listen for anyone struggling with sobriety. Her blend of tough love and practical advice provides a roadmap for long-term success. So, if you're ready to ditch the relapse rollercoaster and take control of your recovery, this episode is your go-to guide. Don't let unrealistic expectations, lack of direction, or cravings derail your progress. Tune in to hear Angela's wisdom and start making meaningful changes today.
