You can’t change everything at once. It’s important to get sober and then work on life skills to see progress. That's where a lot of people fall short.
Imagine applying the principles of a baseball strategy movie to your recovery journey. In this episode of Real Recovery Talk, hosts Tom Conrad and Ben delve into the concept of 'Just Get on Base', drawing inspiration from the film Moneyball. They explore how taking incremental steps, much like Brad Pitt's character who focuses on getting players on base rather than hitting home runs, can be crucial in addiction recovery.
Tom and Ben emphasize that in treatment, time is precious and must be used efficiently. They discuss how trying to change everything at once can be overwhelming and counterproductive. Instead, they advocate for focusing on getting sober first and then gradually working on life skills. This approach mirrors the Moneyball strategy where consistent small gains lead to overall success. The episode highlights the importance of taking ownership of your recovery.
It's not about relying on parents or treatment centers to make progress for you. Instead, individuals need to take the reins and set realistic goals, celebrating small achievements along the way. Tom and Ben use real-life examples and reference Maslow's hierarchy of needs to illustrate their points, making the discussion relatable and practical. If you're looking for a fresh perspective on how to approach recovery, this episode offers valuable insights.
By focusing on incremental steps and using your time wisely, you can build a solid foundation for long-term sobriety. Tune in to hear Tom and Ben's engaging conversation and discover how the Moneyball approach can transform your recovery journey.
