If you're engaged in that kind of process at the end of the day, it's going to turn into something. It's always going to be an outcome because your outcome, even if it means that you're getting yourself scheduled, a routine, and you know you've set yourself a sleeping pattern, there's an outcome.
Do we really need to see immediate results in recovery? This episode of 'Flat Out Recovery' tackles that very question. Richard Woodward and his guests dive into the idea that progress in recovery isn't about quick fixes or instant outcomes.
