    Episode 30: The Dunning-Kruger Effect: The Dangers of Overconfidence in Early Recovery
    Aug 26 2025

    The Dunning-Kruger effect is a cognitive bias where people with low ability at a task overestimate their ability. In early recovery, a little bit of success can lead to a dangerous overconfidence, causing us to neglect our routines, skip meetings, or put ourselves in risky situations. This episode is a compassionate exploration of humility, teaching you how to maintain a "beginner's mind" and respect the lifelong nature of the recovery journey, ensuring that confidence doesn't turn into complacency.

    Episode 29: The Availability Cascade: When a Small Fear Becomes a Big Panic
    Aug 25 2025

    An availability cascade is when a collective belief gains more and more plausibility through its increasing repetition in public discourse. This happens inside our own heads, too. One thought of relapse, repeated over and over, can turn into a perceived certainty. This episode teaches you how to interrupt this internal echo chamber, fact-checking your own catastrophic thoughts and grounding yourself in the reality of the present moment.
