5 steps to helping your loved one: https://www.realrecoverytalk.com/guide Chat with us! https://www.realrecoverytalk.com/services In this episode of Real Recovery Talk, we explore the concept of balance in recovery, using the metaphor of a pie chart to illustrate where you're putting most of your efforts. We discuss the importance of dedicating sufficient time to your recovery, especially in the early stages, to build a strong and lasting foundation. However, we also emphasize the need to balance this with enjoying life’s pleasures, continuing hobbies, and having fun. Too often, people focus so intensely on their recovery that they neglect other aspects of life, leading to burnout. We talk about strategies to make recovery sustainable, ensuring that it enhances, rather than diminishes, the joy and fulfillment life has to offer. Tune in to learn how to find the right balance between staying committed to sobriety and living a full, enjoyable life.
