Coming to that realization and taking ownership of those decisions and calling out the temporary nature of what you're doing- kicking the can down the road, kicking the can down the road... owning this, calling out your propensity to choose the temporary over the long term will propel you into recovery and will help keep you on the right path in recovery, because you can return to this concept.
Have you ever found yourself opting for quick fixes to ease your anxiety, only to realize it’s holding you back from true recovery? In this episode of 'The Anxious Truth', Drew Linsalata tackles this very issue head-on. He dives into the common habit of seeking temporary comfort instead of facing the root causes of anxiety, a pattern that many find hard to break.

The episode kicks off with Drew discussing how easy it is to fall into the trap of avoiding uncomfortable situations for immediate relief. He emphasizes that while this might feel good momentarily, it often prevents meaningful recovery. By recognizing and confronting these habits, listeners can start making decisions that favor long-term healing over short-lived comfort.

He talks about the importance of self-compassion and owning your decisions, even when they lead to setbacks.
