Addiction begins with solving a problem, and the problem is that of human pain, emotional pain.
Ever felt like you're constantly fighting a losing battle against addiction? In this episode of 'The Recovering Escapist', Abraham Oros gets real about the first crucial step in recovery: admitting powerlessness. Drawing from his own journey and over two decades of sobriety, Abraham sheds light on why acknowledging our lack of control over addiction is essential for true healing. But don't worry, it's not all doom and gloom.
He also highlights the power we do have—like changing our attitudes and taking responsibility for our recovery. You'll hear about the pivotal role of community support, and how connecting with others who understand your struggle can be a game-changer. Inspired by Dr. Gabor Mate's definition of addiction as a response to pain, Abraham dives into how childhood trauma often lies at the heart of addictive behaviors.
This episode isn't just about identifying problems; it's about finding solutions through unity and shared experiences. If you're battling any form of addiction or supporting someone who is, this episode offers valuable insights and a sense of hope. Tune in for a candid, heartfelt discussion that could very well be the nudge you need to take that first step towards a healthier, happier life.
