Ego Fatigue and Recovery: Breaking Free from the Exhaustion Cycle

Life is so much more enjoyable when you understand that it's not necessary to have control over these things, to moderate these things to white-knuckle through abstinence or early sobriety, because you can ask for help.
Ever felt utterly drained from constantly fighting the urge to drink or use drugs? In this episode of the Sober Therapist SoberSoul Recovery Podcast, Lynn Matti, a clinical mental health therapist, unpacks the concept of ego fatigue and its role in addiction. Ego fatigue is that bone-deep exhaustion you feel when you're always trying to resist an impulse. Lynn explains how this constant battle isn't sustainable and often leads to feeling overwhelmed and worn out.
But don't lose hope—Lynn emphasizes that seeking help and support is crucial in the recovery journey. She dives into practical ways to challenge negative thoughts, handle resistance, and practice empathy and compassion for yourself and others. This episode is a must-listen if you're looking for ways to find freedom in sobriety and overcome those distorted thinking patterns.
Whether you're struggling with addiction or supporting someone who is, Lynn's insights offer a beacon of hope and practical advice to navigate this challenging path.
