Ever felt like you're constantly bending over backwards to please others, even at the expense of your own well-being? In this episode of The Sober Plug, Connor Duffy tackles the crucial topic of staying true to yourself during recovery. Connor opens up about the importance of setting firm boundaries and prioritising your own needs, especially in the early stages of sobriety.
He shares his personal journey, highlighting how people-pleasing and weak boundaries can lead to vulnerable positions and ultimately jeopardise your recovery. Connor emphasises that your recovery should be treated as a life-or-death matter—attending meetings, staying busy, and investing in your own growth are non-negotiable steps to staying sober. He also touches on the significance of surrounding yourself with people who support your goals and ambitions, rather than those who may drag you back into old habits.
Through candid anecdotes and practical advice, Connor makes it clear that staying true to yourself isn't just beneficial—it's essential for a successful recovery. So, if you're struggling with addiction or simply looking for ways to strengthen your resolve, this episode is a must-listen. It’s time to put yourself first and take control of your journey to sobriety.
