Learning the Slopes of Recovery: The Snowboarding Analogy | Recovery
If you’ve ever been snowboarding or skiing, you already know that the learning process can be hard. After a period of excitement and motivation, you’ll probably realize that it’s a lot more difficult than you initially pictured. You’ll likely crash over and over again and become frustrated with a lack of progress. Over time, however, you’ll pick up the skills you need to take on harder and harder runs until, eventually, it becomes second nature.
Recovery follows a similar process. Many people experience a honeymoon phase, in which they are excited about their recovery and everything seems to be going right…until they “crash”. In this episode, Adi uses the analogy of snowboarding to explore ways in which we can overcome these crashes, keep ourselves motivated in recovery, and reach the stage where all of the skills we’ve learned along the way become second nature.
