Overcoming Self-Centeredness in Recovery: Jack Lopez's Guide

Self-centeredness also drives addiction, because self-centeredness leads to disconnection, which we've talked about before you know it being a symptom of someone dealing with addiction or, as it says, mental health issues, because we can always blame others for what we're going through.

Self-centeredness isn't just a minor flaw; it can seriously hinder progress and strain relationships. Jack unpacks how this trait often stems from past experiences and can even border on narcissism.
But don't worry, it's not all doom and gloom. Jack shares practical strategies to manage these tendencies, emphasizing the power of empathy and self-awareness. Whether you're in early recovery or supporting someone who is, this episode offers valuable insights to help you navigate the complexities of self-centered behavior.
