Today, we're exploring a topic that often plays a silent but significant role in our recovery: expectations. Whether it's expectations we place on ourselves, others, or the recovery process itself, these unseen forces can shape our experiences, for better or worse. Join us as we unravel the complexities of expectations, learn how to manage them effectively, and discover how setting realistic and healthy expectations can pave the way for a more fulfilling and sustainable recovery journey. Tonight, we talk about Expectations. Sustaining Partners:  Chance, Chris, Sam, Nicole, Breanne, Joel, Martin.  Episode Sponsors:  Michael, Audrey, Teresa, Kurt.
