From Counting Days to Making Them Count: Jamie Salsburg's Habit Journey

Just because you abstain from gambling or from drinking, or from binge eating, whatever it is that you're struggling with, just because you abstain for Days, doesn't mean that you're in the same place as somebody that also has abstained for Days.
Ever wondered if there's more to recovery than just marking off days on a calendar? Jamie Salsburg, host of 'The After Gambling Podcast', dives into this thought in a captivating episode inspired by James Clear's 'Atomic Habits'. Jamie challenges the common practice of merely counting days of abstinence and suggests a shift in focus to making each day truly count. He believes that simply tracking days isn't enough if we ignore the deeper triggers and issues driving our behaviors.
Instead, Jamie advocates for building better habits through understanding these triggers and creating supportive systems around them. Throughout the episode, Jamie shares his own progress and battles with procrastination, offering a relatable glimpse into his journey of self-improvement. He also highlights the importance of feedback and accountability, encouraging listeners to connect with others facing similar struggles. This sense of community can provide the support and motivation needed to keep moving forward.
As Jamie wisely notes, 'no matter what you're going through, it's easy to get caught up in feeling like you're the only person that's ever dealt with that, but the reality is somebody else has'. Tune in to this episode for a fresh perspective on making meaningful progress in your recovery journey.
