This Week: Missing Parts & Making Meetings In this week’s episode of Real World Recovery, we kick things off with a story about Mitchell’s car troubles—and how a frustrating situation became a chance to pause, reset, and focus on what really matters. Brett shares how his first week at a new job is going, and we dive into a conversation about one of the most common pitfalls in recovery (and life): the tendency to externalize blame.We explore how easy it is to fall into a cycle of entitlement, where we expect others to solve our problems or make us feel better, and how that mindset can hold us back. Instead, we talk about reclaiming our power by focusing on what we can control and choosing to grow—no matter the circumstances.We also check in on our Thursday night recovery meeting, reflect on how far the group has come, and share some ideas to make it even more impactful. It’s an episode full of practical insight, honest reflection, and community-driven inspiration.
