It's not life that's actually got any agenda. It can come to you by actually dropping the lie about life that we've sometimes tried to accommodate, that really belongs to somewhere and to something else, and just be more accepting of the fact that if life isn't judging us, why on earth would we be judging and hurting ourselves to the extent that we are, life's always wanting us to wake up and realize that's who I was.
Imagine leaving behind a life of religious commitment to embark on a personal quest for self-discovery. That's exactly what John Flaherty did after 11 years as a Catholic priest. In this episode of 'Inside Addiction', hosted by Luke Worsfold, John shares his remarkable journey and the profound lessons he's learned along the way. John's path led him to become an expert in addiction recovery and emotional well-being. With a B.A.
Honors in Theology from Leeds University and a Masters in Drug & Alcohol Policy from Trinity College, Dublin, he's well-equipped to guide others on their recovery journeys. He emphasizes the crucial role of emotional and spiritual well-being in overcoming addiction, advocating for mindfulness as a key tool in this process. Listeners will hear John discuss the impact of addiction on relationships and the importance of letting go of toxic connections.
He talks about how reconnecting with the source of life can help individuals find new purpose and fulfillment. His insights into self-awareness and acceptance offer practical advice for anyone navigating the challenges of addiction recovery. John's story is not just about leaving the priesthood; it's about finding a new calling that helps others discover their true selves. This episode is filled with wisdom, encouragement, and actionable steps for those on their own recovery paths.
