Shifting Focus: The Long Game in Recovery with MartinJon

If we can move towards the long game, we're actually doing ourselves a favor for the future, and that's long game.
Ever felt like you're stuck in a loop, chasing quick fixes that never seem to last? In this episode of 'Recover Yourself', host MartinJon dives into the concept of 'Playing the Long Game'. He challenges us to rethink our approach to recovery and life, moving away from the immediate gratifications that often lead us astray. MartinJon explains how the 'Short Game'—relying on external validations like status, money, or even counting sober days—can trap us in cycles of dependency and unfulfillment.
Instead, he advocates for a 'Long Game' mindset, where the focus shifts to long-term well-being and genuine self-recovery. This isn't just about staying sober; it's about reclaiming your true self and finding deeper fulfillment. By identifying and letting go of short-term crutches, we can make choices that align with our long-term goals and values. Whether you're in recovery or simply looking to make more meaningful life choices, this episode offers valuable insights and practical advice.
Tune in to discover how embracing the 'Long Game' can transform your journey to recovery and beyond.
