Hey L,
If one is to be completely honest, we must recognize the fact that recovery from any sort of compulsive and unwanted behaviors involves a certain level of frustration. This is because the journey to real freedom is rarely a straight line.
You may start with excitement and strong determination, but inevitably you will experience some setbacks, plateaus, or moments where progress practically feels invisible.
So then the question is, how do we stay vigilant, motivated, and even inspired to keep going despite slip-ups, relapses, or disappointments?
Well, if your focus is solely on results, such as hitting a milestone of "X days clean," it can set you up for continual discouragement.
Why?
Because results are simply snapshots in time, and if the picture doesn't match your expectations, you may end up feeling like a failure.
Growth, however, occurs on a continuum. It's an ongoing process of learning, adjusting, and becoming healthier over time. Therefore, even when there are setbacks, you can still move forward by recognizing small, incremental signs of progress.
Consequently, this shift in focus from a destination mindset to a growth mindset creates a foundation for lasting change.
