Breaking Free from Comparison: Insights on Addiction and Mental Health

But really it's all we want is to be free from ourselves.
Ever caught yourself comparing your journey to someone else's? In this episode of 'Retrieving Sanity', host Tanner Keegan dives into the pitfalls of the comparison trap in addiction recovery. He opens up about his own experiences, shedding light on how these comparisons can lead to dissatisfaction and deepen the stigma around addiction and mental health. Keegan emphasizes the importance of focusing on personal growth rather than measuring against others.
Instead of falling into self-deprecation, he encourages channeling energy into community service and supporting fellow travelers on the road to recovery. This episode is a heartfelt reminder that everyone’s path is unique, and helping each other can be a powerful antidote to the harmful effects of comparison.
