Notas del episodio
Our guest for today- Nick, has been clean for over two decades, so we start our session by asking him to drop some knowledge on us. One of Nick's gems is that "mediocrity is delicious." He expands on this due to our puzzled faces- after all we're addicts- we're special, no we're the worst, no you're the worst, we need stimulation, no validation...what is it? Nick breaks it down for us as simple practices that have enhanced his life and recovery. Staying in one's own lane, self-soothing, avoiding gossip, taking a pause before reacting, finding out more information, talking to experts, avoiding putting our whole lives on public display - this is the mediocrity- the deliciousness? Peace of mind, self-worth, balance, stability, healthy relationships. Join us today in wading through the difference between being self-seeking and selfishness and how simple actions can provide us with the ability to be...well, just be!
