Ever wondered how slowing down and reflecting can aid your recovery journey? In this episode of 'Relational Recovery', hosts Wes Thompson and Austin Hill explore the importance of taking time for introspection. They delve into the role of structure and personal intention, highlighting that while having a structured approach is crucial in the early stages, long-term success hinges on personal reflection and intention.
The duo also discusses the significance of building trust through consistent trustworthy actions, a process that requires patience but is vital for mending relationships and progressing in recovery. The conversation shifts to the difference between unwanted behaviors and addiction, shedding light on how habituation and behavior change science play roles in both. They caution against viewing unwanted behaviors as diseases, like cancer, instead emphasizing the power of personal agency and the potential for change through steady, healthy habits.

This episode is a treasure trove of insights on intentional personal growth and the transformative power of healthy habits. Wes and Austin remind us that recovery is possible with time and effort, making this episode a must-listen for anyone on the path to change.
