I believe in the following paradox: you need to serve others and you need to selfishly engage in self-care to adequately recover from addiction.
Ever feel like you're giving so much to others that there's nothing left for yourself? Dr. Peter Grigg, the host of 'Quantum Leap Recovery', dives into this exact dilemma in his episode on self-care. Known for blending traditional recovery wisdom with cutting-edge science, Dr. Grigg doesn't disappoint as he tackles the often overlooked but vital aspect of self-care in addiction recovery.
He starts by revisiting the benefits of volunteering and acts of service, highlighting how helping others can be a cornerstone of recovery. But here's the twist: he argues that while it's great to support others, you can't pour from an empty cup. Self-care isn't just bubble baths and spa days; it's about nourishing your physical, mental, emotional, social, and spiritual health. It's about doing things that genuinely refuel you, rather than feeling like another chore on your to-do list. Dr.
Grigg shares practical tips that range from the simple, like cancelling plans to recharge, to the adventurous, like reinventing yourself in a new environment. Whether you're on your own recovery journey or supporting someone else, this episode offers valuable insights and actionable advice to help you find that crucial balance between giving to others and taking care of yourself. Tune in and discover how self-care can be the missing piece in your recovery puzzle.
