Just Because I Can Doesn’t Mean I Should

from Recovery Daily Podcast

Being able to do something and deciding whether I should do it are two very different things. In sobriety, I look ahead at the consequences of my choices. In stroke recovery, I’m still learning how to do that with my physical and cognitive capacity, especially when the consequences don’t show up until hours or even days later. There’s a fine line between perseverance and restraint, and expanding my capacity and exceeding it. I also share about boundaries, self-awareness, and acknowledging when I successfully honor what my brain and body are telling me.
