Emotions, Examples, and the Easy Does It Mindset: A New Take on Addiction Recovery

The game is to control your emotions and not be controlled by your emotion.
Feeling overwhelmed by the emotional rollercoaster of addiction recovery? You're not alone. In this episode of 'Powerless to Powerful', Mark Mascolo dives into Chapter #4 of his book, focusing on what he calls the Phase 1 E's: emotions, examples, and the 'easy does it' mindset. Mark unpacks the dual motivators of pain and pleasure, explaining how addiction often starts as a pleasure but spirals into pain.
He emphasizes the need to recognize and manage both positive and negative emotions, rather than letting them control you. Think of it like building 'recovery muscles'; it's tough at first, but the rewards are worth it. The episode also explores the power of learning from examples. Mark suggests choosing role models who exemplify successful recovery and stresses that personal growth is a journey, not a destination.
He encourages listeners to adopt an 'easy does it' approach, reminding us that progress is more important than perfection. This episode is a treasure trove of practical advice for anyone navigating the complexities of addiction recovery. Whether you're in the early stages or well on your way, Mark's insights offer a fresh perspective on turning pain into power.
