This is a rebroadcast of one of the most impactful episodes from the archive, something I wanted to bring back for newer listeners.
In this episode, I talk about a powerful recovery strategy called “burning the boats”, what to do when motivation disappears, when you know what you should be doing, but you still keep falling back into old habits.
We explore why relying on motivation alone often fails, and how creating real commitment can completely change your recovery journey.
What would change in your life if going back was no longer an option?
If this resonated with you, share it with someone who needs it and subscribe for more conversations on recovery, discipline, and real change.
