Shifting Gears: Transforming Pandemic Anger into Positive Self-Talk

By practicing this kind of rethinking positive rather than negative self-talk, we can rid ourselves of old resentments and prevent new ones from forming.
Life during the pandemic has thrown many curveballs our way, from job losses to health scares, making recovery feel like an uphill battle. In this eye-opening episode of Recovery Road, hosts dive into an excerpt from Gayle Rosellini and Mark Worden's book, 'Of Course You're Angry: A Guide to Dealing with the Emotions of Substance Abuse'. They tackle the sneaky culprit of self-pity, a form of unhealthy anger that can derail your recovery journey.
The episode encourages listeners to scrutinize their thoughts and expectations, take charge of their own happiness, and embrace positive self-talk. By doing so, you'll learn to deal with problems in a more realistic way, shed old grudges, and keep new ones from taking root. This episode is a lifeline for anyone finding it tough to stay on track during these turbulent times.
