How the Addicted Mind Tricks You Into Relapse
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Most people think relapse starts with drugs.
It doesn’t. It starts with a lie.
In this episode, I break down 4 of the most common lies the addicted mind tells in recovery—the same lies that quietly pull people away from the very things that are helping them heal.
These aren’t obvious.
They sound reasonable.
They feel true.
But if you don’t learn how to recognize them, they will slowly take you out.
I talk about:
The deep-rooted belief that you’re not enough—and how it started long before addiction
Why your mind tries to convince you that you’re different from everyone else
The trap of thinking it’s time to “do something different” and leaving what actually works
How staying “busy” can slowly disconnect you from your recovery without you even noticing.
This episode is about awareness. Because once you can see the lie, it starts to lose its power.
And in the next episode, we’ll get into how to act against these lies so your mind stops running the show.
If you’ve ever felt like your own thinking is working against you… this one is for you.
