And I’m not trying to be clever when I say you’ll be healed from all addiction when you no longer seek to be healed from it when you’re no longer looking for a cure, but rather you’re just here in the now, in this present moment, with what is?
Imagine grappling with the question, 'Can I ever be truly free from addiction?' That's exactly what Recovery 2.0 member Luis asks in this thought-provoking episode of 'In The Circle'. Hosted by Tommy Rosen, this episode takes a deep dive into the complexities of addiction recovery, challenging the age-old notion of 'once an addict, always an addict'.
Tommy and Luis explore what it means to move beyond addiction, discussing the 'Big 6' categories of addiction and the '4 Aggravations', which represent more subtle mental dependencies. Tommy brings a refreshing perspective by suggesting that true healing occurs when we stop seeking a cure. He questions the effectiveness of quick fixes and emphasizes the importance of abstinence as a cornerstone for a fulfilling life.
This isn't just about avoiding substances; it's about addressing the underlying issues that fuel addictive behaviors. Listeners will find themselves reflecting on provocative questions like, 'If you could use again with no side effects and no one knowing, would you?' The conversation also delves into Tommy's personal progress in areas like food, sex, and relationships, offering a relatable touch for anyone on their own journey to recovery.
Whether you're in the early stages of sobriety or have been on this path for years, this episode provides valuable insights and practical advice. It's a heartfelt dialogue that invites you to rethink your relationship with addiction and consider the possibility of a life truly free from its grasp.
