And what that looks like is: you know- and I would say a lot of people confuse prayer and meditation with it- you got to be like some kind of joel osteen guy to pray, or you got to be some kind of like buddha or you know deepak chopra to meditate.
Ever wondered how someone can rise from the depths of addiction to inspire countless others? In this episode of 'Chasing Heroine: Addiction Recovery Podcast', Jeannine Coulter Lindgren and Narcan Nate sit down with Chris Stewart, a man whose life story is nothing short of remarkable.

He dives into the pivotal moments that spurred his recovery and how he found solace in prayer and meditation.
As Chris puts it, 'a lot of people confuse prayer and meditation with it- you got to be like some kind of Joel Osteen guy to pray, or you got to be some kind of Buddha or Deepak Chopra to meditate'. For him, these practices are accessible tools that anyone can use to aid their recovery, regardless of their spiritual background. The episode also highlights the importance of sharing personal stories.
Chris emphasizes how opening up about his journey has allowed him to connect with and support others, from those living on skid row to professionals in high-stress environments. His story serves as a beacon of hope for anyone grappling with addiction, showing that recovery is not only possible but can lead to a fulfilling and impactful life. Tune in to hear Chris's incredible journey and discover how he turned his life around.
