Is Happiness The Goal? (The Daily Trudge)

from RAW Recovery Podcast · host trudgingtogether

Today’s topic: Is Happiness The Goal? We’re told to chase happiness like it’s the destination—but what if that’s not how it works? Happiness isn’t something you go out and grab. It’s not something you can force or hold onto. It’s a result. A byproduct of how you live. Of what you do. Of the actions you take when you don’t feel like it. When you focus on the right things—showing up, doing the work, staying honest, being of service—something starts to change. And what shows up isn’t something you chased… It’s something that was built. Happiness isn’t the goal. It’s the dividend. Trudging Together. No one trudges alone. 🙏 🔔 Subscribe for more Daily Sobriety Motivation: https://www.youtube.com/@thedailytrudge3367 #addiction #recovery #mentalhealth #addictionrecovery #sobriety #sober #love #soberlife #recoveryispossible #mentalhealthawareness #depression #alcoholism #addictionawareness #soberliving #drugaddiction #wedorecover #anxiety #onedayatatime #soberaf #addict #drugs #alcoholicsanonymous #rehab #selfcare #motivation #healing #steps #alcoholfree #selflove #addictiontreatment
