About this episode
What does self-love really mean in recovery? In this episode, we explore the differences among self-love, selfishness, and self-sabotage, and why caring for yourself is essential to protecting your sobriety.
We discuss the honesty and accountability recovery requires, the discomfort many people feel when they hear the word "self-love," and how setting healthy boundaries can help you break patterns such as people-pleasing and negative self-talk. From small daily acts of self-care to choosing your healing one decision at a time, this conversation is a reminder that recovery isn’t about perfection; it’s about learning to value yourself and your future.
If you’ve ever struggled to believe you’re worthy of recovery, this episode is for you.
