Early recovery really is a battle...if you allowed yourself to wake up and think, 'I'm going to win this war against alcohol,'...Seven Years after I've drank, I barely remember what it feels like to get drunk.
Picture this: you're fresh out of detox, feeling vulnerable, and the road ahead seems daunting. In this episode of Elevation Recovery, Chris Scott and Matt Finch dive into the mental gymnastics of early recovery, treating it like a battle between your superego and ID. They argue that viewing addiction as a war can actually be a powerful tool in your recovery arsenal. It's about balancing the stern, responsible 'parent' part of you with the more impulsive 'inner child'.
Chris and Matt explore how fear and anger can be harnessed as motivators in the early stages of recovery. They discuss practical techniques like cold water immersion to jolt your system and keep you focused. The duo also highlights the subconscious mind's resistance to change and how preparation—whether tapering or quitting cold turkey—can make all the difference. What sets this episode apart is its unique military strategist approach to addiction recovery.
If you've ever felt like you're fighting an uphill battle, this episode offers a fresh perspective and practical strategies to help you stay the course. Tune in for an engaging discussion that blends psychological insights with real-world advice.
