Recovery, for me, is about true healing: healing all the dark places and really pruning and growing all the beautiful places.
Expectations can be a tricky beast, often lurking in the shadows of our minds and influencing our actions without us even realizing it. In this episode of 'Recover Yourself: Out from Under the Influence', host MartinJon teams up with Lona Currie from the Hope In Recovery Network to tackle this very topic. They dive into how our expectations—both those we hold and those we believe others hold about us—shape our experiences and contribute to our struggles with addiction.
These expectations are often rooted in childhood traumas, making them hard to identify and even harder to shake off. Lona, a trans man, shares his personal journey of battling societal expectations and how they led him to hide his true self. His story is a powerful reminder that understanding and addressing these ingrained beliefs is crucial for genuine recovery. MartinJon emphasizes that true healing isn't just about staying sober; it's about evolving and learning from every experience.
This episode offers a fresh perspective on how changing our expectations can lead to profound personal growth. If you're ready to confront the expectations holding you back, this episode is a must-listen.
