What we want people to see is that in this presence, that there's happiness now and that they can be content now, and it's not contingent on all these things and once they really see that there's a freeness, that happens where you naturally feel better because you aren't always waiting until the next big thing.
Ever thought about what happens when someone quits one addiction, only to pick up another? In this eye-opening episode of 'Beyond Addiction', hosts Barnett Gilmer and Danielle Guinaugh from Gulf Breeze Recovery dive into the often-ignored issue of substitution addiction. Danielle, the clinical director at their holistic rehab center, shares that addiction isn't just about the substances or behaviors but stems from a deeper misunderstanding of how we handle life's ups and downs.
Instead of tapping into our natural resilience, we turn to substances or activities as a crutch. But what happens when we kick one habit? Often, another takes its place—be it alcohol for opiates, shopping for alcohol, or even becoming a workaholic. This episode sheds light on why this happens and how counseling and therapy can be game-changers in breaking this vicious cycle. The hosts stress the importance of addressing the root causes of addiction and finding peace within oneself.
They also discuss the role of detox programs and other resources that can help people navigate the discomfort of recovery in a healthy way. If you're looking to understand the complexities of addiction and discover innovative treatment approaches, this episode is a must-listen.
