In this episode of the "Porn to Purpose" podcast, Yeadon and I dive into the most common mistake in recovery: complacency. We explore how taking your eye off the ball when you're doing well can lead to relapse. Drawing from our personal experiences and recovery journeys, we highlight the importance of maintaining a consistent recovery framework and staying connected to a community. The conversation touches on how complacency can creep in after periods of success, and why it's essential to double down when you're doing well. This episode serves as a reminder that recovery is a lifelong journey, with ups and downs, and requires consistent effort and attention.
