Therapy May End, but Your Addiction Doesn’t - a podcast by Robert Weiss, PhD, MSW and Tami VerHelst
from 2021-01-14T05:00
Rob and Tami have a discussion on how to best manage your triggers as you go through recovery. Focus on the things you can control. Focus on how you want to react to temptation, instead of being derailed. So much about life are things you can’t control, but you can choose to be a better person and make better, more intentional and more conscious decisions every single day! It does get better!
