You know, like I said in the one podcast, one second at a time, not One Day, one second at a time, because if we try to think too far down the road, we get overwhelmed.
Feeling overwhelmed by the thought of long-term recovery? Melissa Travis knows that struggle all too well. In this episode of 'Our Addicted World', she breaks down the daunting process of overcoming addiction into manageable moments. Melissa shares her personal journey and stresses the importance of focusing on 'one second at a time'. This approach can help prevent the anxiety that often leads to relapse.
Listeners will hear from others who have battled addiction, discussing how they've managed to stay on track by taking things slowly. Topics like dealing with trauma, building support networks, and practicing self-care are covered, offering practical advice and hope. Melissa’s own words resonate deeply: 'One second at a time, not one day, one second at a time, because if we try to think too far down the road, we get overwhelmed'.
The episode also explores the role of peer specialists in the recovery journey and highlights the transformative power of compassion. If you're seeking encouragement and actionable steps to support your or a loved one's recovery, this episode is a must-listen.
