Embracing Self-Love in Addiction Recovery: A Muslim Perspective
When I work with people with addiction issues, I don't really talk about stopping the addiction, I just talk about starting the self-love, because the addiction will take care of itself...
What if the key to overcoming addiction lies in embracing self-love and gentleness? In this thought-provoking episode of 'Addiction, Alcoholism & The 3 Principles', hosts Harry Derbitsky and Greg Suchy dive into the oneness of addiction recovery from a Muslim viewpoint. Greg shares his personal journey of a spiritual breakthrough that accelerated his path to sobriety.

The discussion wraps up with a powerful message about the ultimate expression of love and its importance in healing.
