Rediscovering Praise: Bobbie's Guide to Self-Acknowledgment in Recovery

Soon as we learn to ask for and accept praise, we also learn to praise ourselves and value our own opinion as much as we do others.
Remember the joy of being praised as a child? That unfiltered happiness when someone recognized your efforts? In this episode of the '3-21 NoKiddin' Gambling Addiction Recovery Podcast', Bobbie the Awesome dives into the often-overlooked power of accepting praise as adults, especially on the road to recovery. Many of us have grown up to believe that seeking praise is a sign of weakness or vanity.
Bobbie challenges this notion, encouraging listeners to reclaim the joy and validation that comes from being acknowledged for their efforts and achievements. Bobbie reflects on how, as children, we eagerly sought and basked in praise, but as adults, we often shy away from it. She stresses that accepting praise is not just about boosting our ego but is a crucial part of our mental and emotional well-being.
It's about recognizing our progress, no matter how small, and giving ourselves the credit we deserve. Bobbie shares practical tips on how to start accepting praise again, from valuing our own opinions to appreciating kind words from others.

By surrounding ourselves with supportive people and taking time for self-reflection, we can learn to savor our victories and build a healthier self-image.
Bobbie’s message is clear: in the journey of recovery, acknowledging our successes is just as important as recognizing our struggles. This episode is a heartfelt reminder to be kinder to ourselves and to celebrate our progress. Whether you're in recovery or supporting someone who is, Bobbie’s insights offer a refreshing perspective on self-appreciation. Tune in to rediscover the power of praise and learn how it can be a transformative tool in your recovery journey.
