Reality Check: Are Your Sobriety Expectations on Point?

Expectations are breeders... If I expect you to do something and then I expect a little bit more and then I expect a little bit more. And if I'm not happy, then I need to make you happy.
Picture this: the weight of addiction lifts, and you expect life to be perfect. But is that realistic? In this episode of 'Sober on Purpose', Tanya and Jerry tackle the often overlooked topic of expectations in sobriety. They dive into their own experiences, shedding light on how unrealistic expectations can create frustration and disappointment. Through candid discussions, they share practical tools like journaling and seeking advice from trusted mentors to help manage these expectations.
The duo also highlights the pitfalls of negative thinking and the importance of acceptance and trust in the recovery journey. If you're navigating sobriety or supporting someone who is, this episode offers invaluable insights to help you find balance and fulfillment.
