I really want to be a perfect person to everybody around me. You know, it's like I can. I mean you came and you talked about it Today. I'm not that single out person, you know, sure, and it's like being able to talk about certain things and then have somebody tell you stuff like that is amazingly important, but, like it requires a lot of honesty, which is something I struggle with.
Ever wondered how a mentor can change your recovery journey? In this episode of the 'Lifeboat Addiction Recovery Cast', Hunter and Christian break down the pivotal role of mentorship in overcoming addiction. They kick things off by exploring the battle between our internal and external voices and how a mentor can help navigate this complex terrain. Hunter opens up about his personal experiences, sharing how his mentor has been a game-changer, challenging his perspectives and helping him prioritize his values.
Christian adds depth to the conversation by highlighting that mentorship goes beyond casual advice—it's about a teacher-disciple relationship that fosters growth and development. The duo also tackles the tricky subject of transparency. They emphasize the need for honesty with oneself and one's mentor, recounting their own struggles with being open. They caution against adopting others' morals and values blindly, which can lead to feelings of inadequacy or imposter syndrome. Instead, they advocate for finding and sticking to one's own principles.
They further challenge the unrealistic standards of perfection often imposed by Western culture, urging listeners to focus on progress rather than perfection. By sharing their personal journeys and insights, Hunter and Christian make a compelling case for why mentorship is crucial in addiction recovery. This episode is packed with practical advice, heartfelt stories, and a dash of humor, making it a must-listen for anyone on the path to sobriety.
