Ever felt overwhelmed by the sheer amount of effort you need to put into your recovery? In this episode of Real Recovery Talk, Tom Conrad, Ben, and Stevie Buckets tackle the concept of balance in recovery using the metaphor of a pie chart. The hosts discuss how to divide your time and energy among various aspects of life such as recovery, family, work, and hobbies.
They argue that while it's crucial to dedicate significant time to recovery, especially early on, it's equally important not to neglect other parts of life. Stevie Buckets shares his own experiences of trying to juggle multiple responsibilities while staying sober. He talks about how some people burn out by focusing solely on recovery, eventually becoming resentful towards the process.
Tom and Ben add their insights, stressing the importance of finding a sustainable routine that allows you to enjoy life while maintaining sobriety. This episode offers practical advice and relatable stories that will resonate with anyone on the journey to recovery or supporting a loved one through it. It's a refreshing take on how to balance your recovery efforts without losing sight of life's simple pleasures. Tune in for an engaging discussion filled with humour, honesty, and valuable tips.
So, are you ready to find your balance and make recovery a part of your life without letting it consume you? Give this episode a listen!
