Mastering Recovery: Practice, Self-Compassion, and Letting Go of Perfection

Practice makes the master. And I want to talk about what I mean by that, our typical way of understanding perfection.
Ever wondered how the principle of 'practice makes perfect' applies to addiction recovery? In this episode of 'Ask an Addiction Specialist', Dr. Bob and Odi dive into this very concept. Dr. Bob shares a personal story about learning to golf, highlighting how the journey of mastering a skill parallels the path to recovery. The hosts emphasize that perfection isn't the goal; instead, consistent practice and self-compassion are key.
They discuss the heavy burden of shame often carried by those in recovery and offer practical advice on cultivating self-forgiveness and creativity. If you're seeking a blend of expert guidance and relatable anecdotes to support your recovery journey, this episode is a must-listen.
