#121: Building Confidence in Sobriety

Tim Phillips

Addiction destroys our self-trust, making us believe we’re weak, incapable, and unable to handle life without substances. And even after we quit, those thoughts don’t just disappear.

In this episode, we’re breaking down how addiction wrecks confidence, why waiting to ‘feel ready’ is a trap, and the real way to rebuild self-trust in recovery. 

Plus, we’ll talk about the dangers of trying to force confidence too soon—and how to do it the right way.

If you’ve ever doubted yourself in sobriety, this episode is for you.
