Hey L,
One common hurdle many men and women face in recovery is the slow creep of apathy. And unfortunately, late summer is often a time when it shows up strongest.
You may have started the year on fire.
Full of intention. Committed to change. Maybe you set goals, joined a group, downloaded accountability tools, and told yourself this would be the year everything shifted.
But now it's mid-year, and that initial momentum might feel like a distant memory.
- You're tired.
- You're not seeing the results you hoped for.
- You feel stuck.
And in that stuckness, something quiet but dangerous starts to emerge: apathy.
But here's the truth. That is a very common and normal experience. This is because recovery is not a straight line, and motivation is not a constant fuel source. Everyone hits moments of fatigue.
But staying in recovery means learning how to move forward even when you don't feel like it.
That's where consistency, not perfection, becomes your greatest ally.
That said, we need to identify apathy when it surfaces so it doesn't become a roadblock to motivation and consistency.
Now, when I say "apathy," I'm not referring to the kind of detachment where someone doesn't care about their behavior, their relationships, or the consequences of their actions. That's a values and character issue.
I'm talking about the apathy that shows up after someone has made multiple efforts to get free from compulsive sexual behavior or improve a difficult situation. The kind of apathy that sets in when those efforts are met with repeated failure or discouragement.
Maybe you've been there.
