Don't Fail Twice: Bouncing Back from Setbacks in Addiction Recovery

So if you feed the bad wolf immediately start feeding the good wolf don't feed the bad wolf again as he will get stronger and stronger and you will start making it harder for yourself.
Ever felt like you've fallen off the wagon and it's rolling away faster than you can catch it? In this episode of the 'Craving Wolves Addiction Podcast', host Carel van Heerden dives into the concept of 'Don't Fail Twice'. Inspired by a book he's been reading, Carel uses the analogy of falling off a bus to illustrate the importance of getting back on track immediately after a slip-up.
He explains that if you let the bus drive off, it becomes much harder to hop back on. Similarly, feeding your 'bad wolf'—those negative habits and cravings—makes it tougher to return to your positive routines. Carel's approach is all about quick recovery and resilience. He shares practical advice on maintaining good habits, such as jotting down your reasons for wanting to change and recording voice notes for self-reminders.
The episode also highlights the power of self-reflection and the impact of greeting others with warmth and kindness, as everyone is fighting their own battles. If you're on a journey to overcome addiction and foster better habits, this episode offers a mix of personal insights and actionable tips to help you stay on course. Carel's candid reflections provide a sense of camaraderie and understanding, making this a must-listen for anyone looking to feed their 'good wolf'.
