Podcast Episode 180: Are You Trying To Recover BEFORE Recovery? (Nov 2021)
Channel: The Anxious Truth
Date: 2021-11-03

One of the more common mistakes, especially in early recovery, is trying to actually reach a recovered state before you do the recovery work. If you're trying to figure out a way to not be afraid so that you can start your recovery, you're putting the cart before the horse. If you're hoping that you'll find some magic words that will make all this hard stuff "click" so you can get started, you're doing it backwards.
 
You must do the recovery things first, then you "get it.” It "clicks" after you do the work. And you must do the work of recovery WHILE AFRAID in order to ultimately not be afraid.
 
If you could find a way to not be afraid first, then there would be no need to recover. You'd already be there!
