Episode notes
Reduce Temptations, Not Just Resist
- The goal in recovery is to drastically reduce the number of times you're tempted, not to never face temptation at all.
- Temptation situations should become rare after about 4-6 months of consistent recovery work.
Temptation Signals Deeper Issues
- Frequent temptations arise from underlying unmet needs, patterns, trauma, or limiting beliefs.
- Lack of self-awareness causes fixation on immediate responses instead of addressing root causes.
Control Breathing to Calm
- When tempted, control your breathing by inhaling deeply through your nose and slowly exhaling.
- This calms your nervous system and shifts you out of fight or flight mode.
