Porn for Radio episode 236. Now I want to start today's show off with a list of questions.

Now, this isn't, I'm not promoting a new depression medication, but I want to ask some questions

and just keep an internal track of yeses. Like just, you know, you don't have to,

you don't have to write it down or anything, but just kind of in your head. If you answer yes to

some of these questions, you're going to want to pay attention to this podcast. All right,

let's start with these questions. Do you care a lot about what people think?

Do you struggle with feeling good enough? Do you often compare yourself to others? When you relapse, do you feel a lot of shame?

Do you blame others for your feelings? Are you a perfectionist? Do you procrastinate or avoid things that are hard?

Are you a nice guy? Do you have trouble saying no? Do you people please? Do you often feel like life is

happening to you like you have no choice? Does rejection trigger you? How about loneliness?

Do you avoid conflict? Do you ever get passive, aggressive, or entitled when you feel overlooked?

Are you resentful? Now, if you answered yes to a few of those questions, you might be living life in what

coach and author Steve Chandler calls the social self.

And today we're going to talk all about the social self and we're going to talk about

why we're not called to stay in the social self and how we're

moving in recovery towards the authentic self. So on today's show, it's the social self

versus the authentic self. I'm going to break it all down today.

And I think it's going to be a really helpful distinction for you in your recovery going forward.

So let's start the show.
