When we think about a lack of willpower, we tend to feel kind of shameful about it. Okay, yeah, it's a failing, and what I'm saying is it's actually counterproductive to think of it like that.
Can willpower alone steer us through the stormy seas of addiction recovery? In this episode of 'Sideways', hosts Graham Landi and Martin Pankhurst tackle this compelling question with their signature blend of humor and honesty. Martin kicks things off with a quirky story about ghosts in the toilet and his surprising disdain for marshmallows, while Graham bemoans the absence of fondue in his life.
But it's not all light-hearted banter; they delve deep into the concept of willpower and its role in overcoming addiction. They argue that while willpower is essential, it's not the sole player in the recovery game. Peer support, seeking help, and establishing solid routines are equally crucial. The duo emphasizes reframing how we think about willpower—not as a measure of personal failure but as part of a broader strategy for positive change.
Whether you're on your own recovery journey or simply curious about the psychology behind addiction, this episode offers a mix of practical advice and heartfelt stories. Tune in for a dose of empathy, laughter, and wisdom from two friends who have been through it all.
