Nostalgia in Recovery: Is it dangerous to romanticize your past?
Episode 36: This week, Angie explores the phenomenon of romanticizing memories in recovery. We often look back on our past experiences with a sense of nostalgia and fondness. Is it dangerous? It can be; it can lead us to minimize the negative consequences of our past behaviors and overlook the reasons why we made the decision to get clean and sober in the first place. But it doesn’t have to be dangerous. Grieving our old selves is okay and completely normal.
How can we challenge these thoughts in a healthy way? Angie shares personal stories in remembering her own past and how it’s evolved over the years. She thinks it’s important to keep those memories close. We don’t have to completely let go of our past; our awareness & growth allows us to think of it with perspective.
This episode sheds light on the importance of staying grounded in the present and maintaining a realistic perspective on our past experiences in order to continue growing and thriving in recovery.
If you are new to recovery or have been in it for years, this episode will benefit you.
