We need to move him to a domain where he doesn't have access to these drugs, where he's surrounded by friends who are not using and never let him return to Las Vegas.
What if breaking free from negative habits could be as simple as making tiny changes? In this episode of 'I Love Being Sober', Tim Westbrook sits down with BJ Fogg, a behavior scientist from Stanford and the mind behind the Tiny Habits method. BJ shares his personal journey through addiction and the heartbreaking story of his nephew, whose struggle with opioids ended tragically. This deeply personal experience led BJ to rethink how we approach habit formation.
He argues that the traditional methods are flawed and offers an alternative that focuses on small, manageable changes. By starting with tiny, positive habits, you can gradually build momentum and achieve your goals more easily than you might think. BJ’s insights into the iterative process of habit creation emphasize doing things you already want to do, rather than forcing unwanted habits and trying to muster motivation later.
This episode is not just about theory; it's packed with practical advice on creating uplifting habits and understanding the core principles of BJ's book, 'Tiny Habits'. If you're looking to untangle negative patterns in your life and replace them with positive behaviors, this conversation is a must-listen.
