Building a Better Life: Recovery Fundamentals and Mental Models
I think that itself is a good enough reason... if I were to focus on alcohol, or the absence of alcohol for the rest of my life, I would always be miserable.
Matt Finch and Chris Scott are back with another episode of Elevation Recovery, where they break down the essentials of addiction recovery. This time, they’re talking about everything from nutrition and exercise to sleep and hydration. It's not just about quitting substances; it's about building a life you love. They also dive into mental models that can help you see addiction in a new light.
Instead of viewing it as a constant battle, they suggest reframing it as a journey toward self-improvement. One memorable quote from the episode is, 'If I were to focus on alcohol, or the absence of alcohol for the rest of my life, I would always be miserable'. This captures the essence of their approach—focusing on what you gain rather than what you lose.
Listeners will find a treasure trove of practical advice, drawn from both hosts' personal experiences and those of their guests. They cover the bio, psycho, social, and spiritual pillars of recovery, offering a holistic view that goes beyond just quitting substances. If you're someone who's trying to break free from addiction or supporting someone who is, this episode provides valuable tools and insights to help you along the way.
