If you feel like you are behind, you feel like you failed and you are working on recovery or you're there or you're contemplating it, keep doing that. It's the opposite of failure. It is success and a trial by fire and being shaped and formed into something radically different than when you started as an addict.
Imagine feeling like a failure even while you're trying your hardest to recover from addiction. In this episode of 'Doc Jacques: Your Addiction Lifeguard', Dr. Jacques de Broekert challenges this disheartening mindset. He introduces a powerful metaphor: Are you buried or are you planted? This question isn't just rhetorical; it’s a call to see recovery from a fresh perspective.

He passionately explains that just like a seed must be buried to sprout, individuals in recovery are on the brink of flourishing, not buried under the weight of their struggles. His empathetic approach shines as he underscores the resilience and strength inherent in those battling addiction. Throughout the episode, Dr. Jacques offers heartfelt encouragement and practical advice, urging listeners to embrace their journey and recognize their progress.
This episode is a must-listen for anyone grappling with addiction or supporting someone who is. It’s a reminder that every step forward, no matter how small, is a step towards blooming into a new life.
