In this episode of Belle's One Minute Messages, Belle Robertson revisits a classic topic with a fresh perspective. Titled 'Two Eiffel Towers', this episode dives into the idea of trying to quit drinking by using the same methods over and over, hoping for different results. Belle uses the humorous analogy of playing Pictionary with her family, where her dad repeatedly draws a simplistic Eiffel Tower, expecting his teammates to guess correctly.
This story becomes a metaphor for sobriety - if one method isn't working, it's time to try something new instead of just trying harder at the same thing. Belle shares anecdotes about cooking croissants and organising kitchen drawers, all tying back to the central theme of changing approaches when things aren't working. She emphasises the importance of not being stubborn and being willing to adjust your strategies to achieve your goals.
Whether it's moving a box in your living room that you keep stubbing your toe on or finding a new method to stay sober, Belle's message is clear: change is necessary for progress. With her trademark smart-mouth language and relatable examples, Belle makes a compelling case for re-evaluating our tactics in sobriety and life. She challenges you to think about what you're doing repeatedly that's not working and encourages you to find new ways to tackle those challenges.
If you're struggling with alcohol recovery or any other persistent issue, this episode is a must-listen for its practical advice and engaging storytelling. So, are you ready to stop drawing the same Eiffel Tower and try something different? Tune in to hear Belle's humorous yet profound take on making real changes in your life.
