00:00:10.279 --> 00:00:15.439
Welcome back to Absolutely Focused Radio, the show where healing

2
00:00:15.560 --> 00:00:23.399
gets real and growth is always the mission. Today's episode

3
00:00:24.000 --> 00:00:31.480
is a powerful one, navigating betrayal and rebuilding trust, and

4
00:00:31.519 --> 00:00:35.719
we've got the full squad in the building. Daniel Nelson,

5
00:00:36.240 --> 00:00:40.560
your sobriety buddy and the heart of the movement, Jane

6
00:00:40.600 --> 00:00:43.960
Marie dropping the stats and facts you need to know,

7
00:00:44.600 --> 00:00:48.840
Chucky Chip with tech on deck to support your transformation,

8
00:00:49.560 --> 00:00:53.479
and Marcus the Motivator bringing that inspiration for the nation.

9
00:00:54.359 --> 00:00:58.240
Strap in because this one's about to get real.

10
00:01:01.399 --> 00:01:07.879
Today we're going deep. We're talking betrayal, trust and the

11
00:01:07.920 --> 00:01:13.200
way your identity shift, your growth can rattle the people

12
00:01:13.239 --> 00:01:19.840
around you. Because here's the truth. When you start healing, growing,

13
00:01:20.719 --> 00:01:24.560
becoming the version of yourself you were always meant to be,

14
00:01:25.760 --> 00:01:29.359
some folks won't know how to receive you, not because

15
00:01:29.400 --> 00:01:33.359
you're doing anything wrong, but because your evolution makes the

16
00:01:33.519 --> 00:01:38.480
stagnation uncomfortable. They'll treat you like your growth is a threat,

17
00:01:39.640 --> 00:01:44.079
like your piece is too loud, like your focus is offensive.

18
00:01:45.280 --> 00:01:48.799
You nailed it, Daniel. Research shows forty to sixty percent

19
00:01:48.840 --> 00:01:51.959
of people relapse in their first year of recovery, and

20
00:01:52.040 --> 00:01:57.280
one of the biggest reasons low self esteem, emotional manipulation,

21
00:01:57.680 --> 00:02:01.680
and lack of support. People underestimate how hard it is

22
00:02:01.719 --> 00:02:04.400
to move forward when others constantly pull you back into

23
00:02:04.439 --> 00:02:05.239
who you used to be.

24
00:02:06.159 --> 00:02:08.560
Let me keep it all the way real. I've been

25
00:02:08.599 --> 00:02:12.479
sober six years and there are still folks who can't

26
00:02:12.520 --> 00:02:17.280
process that. They act like healing is a costume I'm wearing.

27
00:02:18.360 --> 00:02:23.080
They'll say things like you're full of it, or they'll

28
00:02:23.120 --> 00:02:30.520
give me backhanded props like wow, you seem better for now,

29
00:02:30.759 --> 00:02:34.360
dot and listen. Some of them smile in your face,

30
00:02:35.199 --> 00:02:39.960
but low key, they're rooting for your downfall. You gotta

31
00:02:40.039 --> 00:02:45.319
stay sharp, pay attention to who's clapping when you win

32
00:02:46.400 --> 00:02:49.960
and who's just waiting for you to fall.

33
00:02:50.000 --> 00:02:52.400
And that's where tech on deck becomes your best friend

34
00:02:53.080 --> 00:02:55.879
if you use it with intention. There are apps that

35
00:02:55.919 --> 00:02:59.400
help you track your triggers, journal your wins, stay accountable.

36
00:03:00.280 --> 00:03:03.199
Check can be your tool for growth or your trap

37
00:03:03.360 --> 00:03:07.719
for comparison. So don't use your phone to spy stock

38
00:03:07.879 --> 00:03:11.120
or scroll in someone else's lane. Use it to stay

39
00:03:11.159 --> 00:03:12.039
grounded in yours.

40
00:03:12.800 --> 00:03:15.759
That's the word right there. See, trust, whether in others

41
00:03:15.840 --> 00:03:18.400
or yourself, is like a muscle. The more you work

42
00:03:18.439 --> 00:03:22.039
it the stronger it becomes. And betrayal, yeah, it hurts,

43
00:03:23.080 --> 00:03:26.240
but healing from it that strength, training for your soul.

44
00:03:26.520 --> 00:03:29.000
You are not who you are, You are not your past.

45
00:03:29.319 --> 00:03:31.759
You are becoming, and that deserves to be honored.

46
00:03:32.840 --> 00:03:36.319
Let's take it a step deeper. Some people will never

47
00:03:36.400 --> 00:03:41.240
respect you. I don't care how consistent you are. I

48
00:03:41.280 --> 00:03:44.479
don't care how much light you bring, how many bridges

49
00:03:44.520 --> 00:03:48.280
you build, how much you pour into them. They've already

50
00:03:48.280 --> 00:03:51.240
made up their minds about who you are, and they

51
00:03:51.280 --> 00:03:55.680
can't see beyond their own limitation. Even when you show

52
00:03:55.800 --> 00:04:00.919
up with love, speak from a healed place, and bring

53
00:04:01.039 --> 00:04:06.199
nothing but growth to the table. They'll still twist your words,

54
00:04:07.439 --> 00:04:12.280
still silence your truth, still label you based on who

55
00:04:12.319 --> 00:04:16.839
you used to be. But hear me loud, that's not

56
00:04:17.000 --> 00:04:20.800
on you, That's on the parts of them that are

57
00:04:21.040 --> 00:04:25.319
too afraid to change. So keep showing up, keep healing

58
00:04:25.519 --> 00:04:30.240
out loud, keep telling your truth even when it shakes

59
00:04:30.279 --> 00:04:33.399
the realm, because the people who are meant to grow

60
00:04:33.439 --> 00:04:38.920
with you, they'll hear you, they'll feel you, they'll stand

61
00:04:39.000 --> 00:04:39.319
with you.

62
00:04:40.519 --> 00:04:45.079
Affirmations from Daniel and the Sobriety Crew.

63
00:04:46.519 --> 00:04:50.560
I am worthy of love, Trust, and peace on my terms.

64
00:04:51.160 --> 00:04:54.600
I use technology to elevate my purpose, not distract from it.

65
00:04:55.519 --> 00:04:58.959
I am rebuilding trust within myself, one powerful step at

66
00:04:59.000 --> 00:04:59.720
a time.

67
00:05:00.040 --> 00:05:04.800
And here's mine. I no longer explain my peace to

68
00:05:04.959 --> 00:05:09.759
people who profit off my chaos.

69
00:05:10.120 --> 00:05:10.759
Let that's it.

70
00:05:12.399 --> 00:05:15.879
Thank you for riding with us on Absolutely Focused Radio.

71
00:05:17.000 --> 00:05:20.839
This episode was a reminder your healing might make some

72
00:05:20.920 --> 00:05:24.720
people uncomfortable, but you were never called to fit in.

73
00:05:25.680 --> 00:05:31.000
You were called to rise, Stay focused, stay grounded, and

74
00:05:31.079 --> 00:05:36.279
as always, never apologize for becoming the healed version of

75
00:05:36.360 --> 00:05:40.360
yourself until next time we out.

76
00:05:41.079 --> 00:05:44.879
True or keep power. Want it, buy what you really are.

77
00:05:45.360 --> 00:05:49.199
Don't say I see from the sidelin.

78
00:05:49.360 --> 00:05:50.639
Some feel what you ride in.

79
00:05:50.839 --> 00:05:54.279
I cook my peace, mid Bro with the line in

80
00:06:00.879 --> 00:06:01.879
the control, the
