The less you feed your wolf, the less power it'll have over you. Addiction is everlasting, because it is, and unfortunately, there will always be a time that you will look back on what you were dependent on and that you want that thing that you were dependent on.
Ever pondered why some habits feel impossible to break? Carel van Heerden, host of the Craving Wolves Addiction Podcast, unpacks this in an insightful episode titled 'Craving Wolves Part 1'. Carel dives into the origins of his podcast, shedding light on the meaningful symbolism behind its name and artwork—a Yin Yang sign represented by two wolves. This symbol is a powerful metaphor for addiction, illustrating the constant tug-of-war between our harmful cravings and healthier choices.
In this episode, Carel shares personal stories and theories about these 'craving wolves'. He focuses on the 'bad wolf', which represents our destructive habits and dependencies. By feeding this wolf, it gains strength and control over our lives. Conversely, nurturing the 'good wolf'—symbolizing our positive habits and healthy decisions—helps us regain balance and control. Carel's candid discussion offers a relatable perspective on addiction's complexities.
He emphasizes that while addiction is a lifelong challenge, it is possible to overcome it by consistently making healthier choices. His approach combines personal anecdotes with practical advice, making the episode both engaging and informative. Listeners will find Carel's reflections on the Yin Yang principle of addiction particularly enlightening. He underscores the importance of recognizing our internal battles and making conscious efforts to 'feed' our good habits.
This episode is a must-listen for anyone seeking to understand addiction better and find strategies to combat it. Join Carel on this journey of self-discovery and empowerment, as he provides valuable insights into managing cravings and fostering healthier habits.
