Michael Stoller on Misery Addiction: Finding Light in the Darkness

Misery addiction or self-sabotage addiction? It's made such a difference in my life that I've had so much shame of sharing it with people. I don't want to do that anymore because it's made such a difference.
Have you ever felt trapped in a cycle of negativity, unable to see the good in your life? Michael Stoller knows that feeling all too well. In the 30th episode of 'My Blueprint: Struggle Towards Emotional Sobriety', Michael opens up about his personal battle with misery addiction, a habit of focusing on life's problems rather than its blessings. From a young age, he found himself drawn to the dark side, constantly dwelling on what was wrong.
This behavior took a toll on his mental health, making it difficult for him to find joy and peace. Michael doesn't just share his struggles; he also talks about his journey towards healing. He discovered Misery Addicts Anonymous (MAA) or Self-Sabotage Anonymous (SSA), a 12-step fellowship that played a crucial role in his recovery.
By shifting his focus to what’s working in his life and embracing humility and vulnerability, Michael began to see the light at the end of the tunnel. He emphasizes the importance of building a community where people can share their stories without shame or guilt, fostering an environment of openness and honesty. This episode is a heartfelt exploration of how changing your perspective can transform your mental health.
Michael's candid storytelling offers hope and practical advice for anyone feeling overwhelmed by negativity. Whether you're struggling with your own misery addiction or supporting someone who is, this episode provides valuable insights into the power of positivity and community.
