Dallas Bragg says the moment you want to change, a path forms to get you there. The recovery industry pushes rigid expectations about what that should look like, making people punish themselves for deviating. The path works when you commit to it, not when you match someone else's blueprint.
I believe though that in the moment you create a desire for transformation, the path is created toward that desire. It's planned. It's a curriculum. The problem is that we try to control what that path should look like based on our limited beliefs and the mandates that are given to us by the mainstream recovery industry on what that path should look like. And if the path doesn't resemble our expectations or what we're told they should be, we punish ourselves and we're punished by them and assume that we are on the wrong track. It works if you work it.
