Finding Your True Self with Paul Noiles on The Buttrfly Effect

The key to recovering from any addiction begins with recognizing the source of trauma and pain in one's life and getting to know their true self by letting go of their mistaken identity and answering the question: who am I?
Ever wondered if discovering your true self could be the key to overcoming addiction? In this episode of The Buttrfly Effect, host Gail Ferguson Jones sits down with addiction recovery coach Paul Noiles to explore this profound question. Paul, author of the upcoming book 'Mistaken Identity: The Sacred Journey from Addiction to Awakening', shares his unique insights into how understanding and embracing your true identity can pave the way to recovery.
Paul emphasizes that many people struggling with addiction are grappling with a 'mistaken identity', a false sense of self shaped by trauma and pain. By addressing the root causes of this mistaken identity, individuals can begin to heal and reconnect with their authentic selves. He explains that this journey isn't just about quitting substances; it's about a deeper awakening and transformation.
Throughout the episode, Gail and Paul delve into various aspects of addiction recovery, including the impact of codependency, the stigma surrounding addiction, and the benefits of peer-to-peer coaching. They discuss how recognizing and letting go of a mistaken identity can lead to a more fulfilling and sober life. Listeners will find Paul's approach both compassionate and practical, offering real-life strategies for those on their recovery journey.
Whether you're personally affected by addiction or supporting a loved one, this episode provides valuable perspectives on healing and self-discovery. Tune in to learn how answering the question 'Who am I?' can be a powerful step towards recovery and personal growth.
