I've had a look at the Muslim community, but I think for me the one thing that I have got out of all of the religions that I've sort of touched on- I wouldn't say I've studied them in any depth, I've sort of looked into them and had an idea as to what's going on- was zen buddhism.
What happens when faith doesn't bring the solace you seek? In this gripping episode of 'My Alcoholic Mother', Lee Crowhurst opens up about his complex relationship with religion amidst the chaos of his mother's alcoholism. He recounts his encounters with various religious groups, each promising relief but delivering disappointment. Lee's candid reflections reveal how indoctrination shaped his family's life and how these experiences influenced his mental health journey.
Moving beyond traditional religious practices, he delves into Zen Buddhism, finding a fresh perspective that helped him navigate his struggles. Through it all, Lee underscores the critical importance of mental well-being, offering a heartfelt reminder that sometimes, the path to healing is deeply personal and unconventional. This episode is a must-listen for anyone grappling with similar challenges or seeking a nuanced understanding of faith's role in addiction recovery.
