#71: Why Being A People Pleaser May Be Hurting Your Sobriety

I want you to ask yourself the following question.  Is your sobriety and life being guided by the opinions of others?

I know many of us in recovery identify as people pleasers and we often find ourselves saying yes to things even though we may not want to do them.  

Doing this can often cause us to stay in a place in our lives that does not serve us simply because we are worried about disappointing others.

So how do we begin to make decisions that are not only best for us, but also for the people closest to us?

How can we learn to start saying no?

That is what we are going to be talking about in this episode.
