The Four Agreements, read through a recovery lens — words, resentment, assumptions, and doing your best.

A quiet 1997 book that keeps showing up in the rooms, even though it wasn't written for them. I go

through all four agreements and how each maps onto staying sober — the self-talk that runs on

autopilot, the gossip that turns fellowship into a rumor mill, the resentments we build out of

things that were never about us, and the perfectionism that punishes an imperfect day into a

relapse. Peer perspective and lived experience only — not professional advice.

Pick one agreement. Live with it for seven days. Notice what shifts.
