When you're in recovery, you peel back layers, and I think for me, when I got to a layer I didn't want to deal with, I filled my calendar and I filled my to-do list, and I just kept filling and filling, and filling and filling to the point where it was like I was trying to make up for lost time and leave myself no time for reflection, because as long as I couldn't think about it, then I wasn't going to have to deal with it.
Ever felt trapped by the need to make everyone happy? In this episode of the 'Tao of Our Understanding Alcohol Recovery Podcast', the hosts dive into Chapter 9 of the Tao Te Ching. Lao Tzu's ancient wisdom reveals how trying to please others can imprison us, making it hard to moderate our actions and even fueling addictive behaviors. Through heartfelt discussions, the hosts and guests highlight the dangers of people pleasing and the importance of self-care and reflection in recovery.
One guest shares their struggle with filling their schedule to the brim to avoid tough emotions, only to find it created more stress and hindered their recovery. The conversation emphasizes embracing your unique quirks and using the right tools, rather than constantly seeking approval from others. This episode offers valuable insights into breaking free from the cycle of people pleasing and finding true freedom on your path to sobriety.
