You're listening to season six of the Recovery Happy Hour podcast.

Are you ready? Hold on to your headphones.

Let's do this. Hi everyone welcome to recovery happy hour where we talk about life beyond the

bottle and what happens after we stop drinking I'm your host Tricia and I'm a semi-retired people please.

They're hoping to enter full retirement later on in this lifetime.

Thank you for joining me. I'm going to jump right into this today.

We are revisiting the topic of people pleasing.

The first episode about people pleasing was episode six.

So the podcast was brand new and I was about a year and a half sober when I recorded it. It's now been

over four years since I've had a drink. I've recorded 115 more episodes and I'd

like to think that I've learned something new since then, so here we are.

First, if you want to go back and listen to episode six and you can't find it on your

app, for instance, Apple Podcast will only take me back to episode 21.

Try a different podcast app or Spotify or you can listen to every episode of the show

on recovery happy hour.com.

People pleasing summed up is editing or altering your words and behaviors for the sake of another person's feelings or reactions.

People pleasers usually start out as parent pleasers, finding this to be a way to maintain

connection with emotionally unavailable or detached parental figures.

Sometimes people pleasers can feel like the parent in their family relationships.
