In this episode of 'Addiction, Alcoholism & The 3 Principles', Harry Derbitsky and Greg Suchy tackle the heavy topic of experiencing criticism and negative comments as an addict. They don't shy away from discussing the real impact of systemic racism and societal biases that can weigh heavily on those battling addiction.

It's not just about avoiding negative thinking; it's about recognizing how our own thoughts shape our reality.

By changing how we think, they argue, we can break free from the chains of addiction and move towards a life filled with spiritual growth and self-acceptance.
Whether you're struggling yourself or supporting someone who is, this episode offers a refreshing perspective on overcoming judgment and finding inner peace.
