Harnessing Resourcefulness: Patrick Fox's Insights on Overcoming Addiction
When you get the willingness to be uncomfortable, when you learn just to sit with your feelings of wanting to have a drink but not acting on them, you begin to see that actually there's not really anything they can do for you.
Why do we find ourselves so easily drawn to addictions? In this episode of 'The Alcohol ReThink Podcast', Patrick Fox dives into the reasons behind our susceptibility to addictions and how we can use our inherent resourcefulness to break free from them. When we’re drinking, we're often incredibly creative in finding ways to get what we want. Patrick shows how this same creativity can be a powerful tool in our journey to sobriety.
He stresses the importance of sometimes slowing down and tuning into our bodies, rather than always rushing into action. This episode isn’t just about stopping alcohol; it’s about understanding the underlying patterns that keep us hooked and learning to sit with discomfort rather than acting on impulse. Patrick also discusses the link between alcohol and survival instincts, and why being uncomfortable is an essential part of breaking the addiction cycle.
Plus, he touches on sugar addiction and how recognizing our motivations can help us move beyond them. If you’re an action-focused individual seeking guidance on overcoming addiction, this episode is packed with valuable insights and practical advice.
