Fail forwards, I always say! You either win or you learn. There is no true failure unless it leads to you continuing to make the same mistakes…or outright quitting.
Ever thought about how your biggest failures could be your greatest teachers? In this episode of Beyond Recovery, Matt Gardiner kicks off 'F*ck Up Friday', a fresh segment where sharing our slip-ups is not just encouraged but celebrated. Matt dives into the concept of 'Fail Forward', emphasizing that failure is only real if you stop trying or keep making the same mistakes.
By creating a space where people can talk about their missteps without shame, he aims to normalize failure and turn it into a stepping stone for success. Matt shares his own story of relapse after three years of sobriety, sparked by the dangerous thought, 'I got this'. His attempt at moderation led him back into old habits, serving as a stark reminder that understanding the root causes of addiction is crucial.
This episode is packed with candid reflections and practical advice, reminding us that screw-ups are events, not identities. It's about how we respond and grow from these moments that truly define us. Tune in for an engaging and insightful conversation that will resonate with anyone on the journey to recovery.
