So the action that you take in that moment, the decision that you make, is quite important. So take action on even stopping those things.
Have you ever thought you were making progress, only to realize you might be heading in the wrong direction? In this compelling episode of the Craving Wolves Addiction Podcast, host Carel van Heerden digs deep into the complexities of taking action in the journey of addiction recovery. He explores the tricky territory of distinguishing between feeding your 'good wolf' and 'bad wolf', a metaphor for making choices that either support or sabotage your recovery efforts.
Carel doesn't shy away from the hard truths. He talks about how society's norms can sometimes mislead us into thinking we're on the right path when we're not. It's easy to get caught up in what everyone else thinks is okay, but Carel emphasizes the importance of self-reflection and making decisions that are truly beneficial for your unique situation. One of the key takeaways from this episode is the importance of stopping harmful actions as soon as you recognize them.
Carel shares practical advice on how to pause, reassess, and make conscious decisions that align with your recovery goals. He acknowledges that this isn't always easy—especially when societal pressures are at play—but insists that it's crucial for long-term success. Carel also addresses the inevitable setbacks and failures that come with the recovery process. Instead of viewing these as insurmountable obstacles, he encourages listeners to see them as opportunities for growth and learning.
The episode is a heartfelt reminder that recovery is not a straight line, but a series of steps that require constant vigilance and action. By the end of the episode, you'll feel more equipped to navigate your own recovery journey, armed with insights on making informed decisions and breaking free from harmful societal norms. Carel's candid approach and practical tips make this episode a must-listen for anyone serious about overcoming addiction.
