EP 48 - Self Compassion

In this episode, "Troy" and "Jeffrey" discuss how we need to have compassion for ourselves while pursuing sexual sobriety. We can be so hard on ourselves, beating ourselves up for experiencing lust, which is a normal function of the human body. We can be so perfectionistic with our recovery that we shame ourselves when we fall short of our goals. The two of them discuss how they try to rise above those self-shaming feelings and live in a more contented sobriety as a result.

This episode was recorded before EP 47, and is the last episode featuring Troy for the foreseeable future. We want to thank Troy for all of his contributions to the podcast over the past 3 years, and for making Recovery Nerd as strong and engaging as it has been since day one. Our new friend Winnie will be Jeffrey's co-host moving forward. Thank you all for listening and we're looking forward to a new era of the podcast with Jeffrey and Winnie!
