Above all, don't lie to yourself. The man who lies to himself and listens to his own lie comes to a point that he cannot distinguish the truth within him, or around him, and so loses all respect for himself and for others.
Ever wondered how much the lies we tell ourselves impact our lives? In this episode of 'A Lust for Sober Life', MrTheraPOD dives into this very question with a thought-provoking reflection inspired by Dostoevsky. Starting with a powerful quote from 'The Karamazov Brothers', he explores the dangerous territory of self-deception and its effects on addiction recovery. Through a candid and relatable anecdote from his time at Hope Rehab in Thailand, MrTheraPOD recounts a conversation with a fellow patient named Ant.
Ant claimed he'd never lied to anyone, but when it came to lying to himself, he couldn't deny it. This interaction led MrTheraPOD to confront his own self-deceptions and recognize how they hindered his recovery journey. This episode isn't just about addiction; it's a call to anyone interested in personal growth and self-reflection. MrTheraPOD's storytelling is both humorous and heartfelt, making complex ideas accessible and engaging.
By the end, you'll be encouraged to reflect on your own self-deceptions and consider how they might be holding you back. It's a compelling listen for anyone looking to understand themselves better and take steps towards a more honest and fulfilling life.
