The comparison trap: Breaking free from labels in recovery.
Episode 38: In addiction recovery, it's common for people to be labeled as "addicts" or "alcoholics" and compared to others who are also struggling with addiction. Are you in AA or NA? Are you completely abstinent? Are you sober or clean? These labels can be limiting and damaging to one's self-esteem and progress, feeding into the comparison trap of the recovery community.
It's important to understand that each person's journey towards recovery is unique, and comparing oneself to others can be counterproductive. Instead, embracing individuality and focusing on personal progress can lead to a more fulfilling and sustainable recovery.
This week, Angie explores the impact of labels and comparisons in addiction recovery and provides insights and strategies for breaking free from them. Angie shares her personal experiences and perspectives on this topic & discusses what she thinks is the only difference that matters in recovery. Whether you are just starting your recovery journey or have been in it for years, this episode will benefit you. Join the Hope chase each week for a dose of Hope & proof that recovery really is possible.
