The Secret to Loving Your Wife More Each Day!

💥 You’re not an imposter. You’re a work in progress — and that’s the point. 💥 Perfection isn’t the standard. Not in recovery, not in marriage, not in life. You’re going to fail, screw up, and fall short — sometimes spectacularly. That doesn’t make you a fraud. It makes you a human being who’s still building. In this Sober Psychology episode, I get personal about the messy reality of growth — as a husband, in sobriety, and in every role we play. I share how science (yep, CBT in particular) backs up what the Big Book has been saying for decades: reframe the lies in your head. Instead of “I’m not really sober,” try “I’m sober today, and that’s enough.” Instead of “I’m failing at this,” try “I’m learning as I go.” That’s the whole game — progress, not perfection. 🔑 What you’ll take away: How to reframe distorted thoughts with CBT Why failing doesn’t make you an imposter The connection between the amygdala, prefrontal cortex, and self-doubt Why “enough for today” is more powerful than you think Your homework? Write down one thing you did well today. No matter how small. Then commit to doing just a little better tomorrow.
