The thing is, it's easier if you are prepared. It's easier if you plan for things to go wrong. I can say it a million times.

Have you ever wondered how a bit of planning could make your recovery journey smoother? In this episode of the Craving Wolves podcast, Carel van Heerden dives into the nuts and bolts of planning and preparation in the fight against addiction. Imagine removing all the temptations from your home when you're feeling strong so that when those weaker moments hit, you're not surrounded by triggers.
That's just one of the many strategies Carel discusses to make life easier down the road. Carel shares his own experiences and stresses the importance of doing the hard work upfront. He talks about how making decisions early and sticking to them can be a game-changer in your recovery process. It's all about feeding that 'good wolf' inside you and setting yourself up for success. But it's not just about avoiding the bad; it's also about embracing the good.
Carel suggests incorporating exercise into your routine as a positive habit to focus on this week. It's a simple yet powerful way to boost your mood and keep you on track. Whether you're in the early stages of recovery or looking for ways to strengthen your resolve, this episode offers practical advice and heartfelt encouragement. Carel's approach is relatable and motivating, making it a must-listen for anyone battling addiction or supporting someone who is.
