Show Notes:
Welcome to The Recovered Podcast, where we explore the raw and unfiltered realities of recovery. Today, we delve into a topic that many find challenging: the danger of expectations. In recovery, we often come in with a preconceived notion of how our journey should unfold. We may expect immediate relief from our struggles, a linear path to healing, or even a complete transformation of our lives. However, these expectations can set us up for disappointment, frustration, and even relapse.
Tonight, we talk about Expectations.
