As addicts we can rationalize anything, and for a lot of people it's like: well, you know, we're addicts for me, and I battle compulsion to get on the internet, but I clearly see it as I'm trying to take myself out of the moment.
Addiction isn't always about substances; sometimes, it involves behaviors that are hard to talk about. In this episode of the Buddhist Recovery Network Podcast, recorded live at the International Buddhist Recovery Summit in Lacey, Washington, listeners are invited to explore the often-ignored topics of sex, love, eating disorders, and screen addiction. Featuring candid discussions from Gary Sanders and Vimla Sara, this episode sheds light on the complexities of these taboo addictions.
The speakers share their personal journeys and professional insights, making it clear that addiction can take many forms and each requires a unique approach to recovery. They delve into the ways addicts rationalize their behaviors and stress the importance of awareness and mindfulness in overcoming these challenges. Through stories and practical advice, they highlight the necessity of setting boundaries and finding balance in the recovery process. One of the standout themes is the role of community and support.
The guests emphasize that no one should have to face addiction alone; connection and affirmation from others are crucial elements of healing. Whether you're dealing with these issues yourself or supporting someone who is, this episode offers a wealth of information and a compassionate perspective on recovery. Tune in for an enlightening conversation that breaks down barriers and opens up new avenues for understanding and healing.
