Listen to others that have had experience, right? Every other aspect of our lives, we learn from others. Addiction is the disease that tells you that you don't have it. It's mental and physical, and the denial won't let you see what's painfully obvious to others.

Michael Van Meter, host of 'Recovery Is Possible', teams up with Aparna Sain, the voice behind 'Mindful Nation', to tackle this very question.

The duo also busts common myths about addiction and highlights how spiritual practices can help keep life's chaos in check. Whether you're on your own recovery journey or supporting someone who is, this conversation offers practical wisdom and heartfelt support. Tune in to discover how integrating mindfulness and spirituality can be a game-changer in the quest for balance and healing.
