Mastering Recovery: Dr. Marty Lerner on Addiction and Personal Transformation
The truth of the matter is that most people who have succeeded- that I'm aware of, both professionally and personally- have succeeded in those organizations that go beyond the substance or the behavior that they're addicted to and really evoke or promote or allow someone to develop a total new psychic or personality, if you will, or lifestyle change.
What if addiction recovery was more than just abstaining from substances? In this episode of The Elizabeth Chance Podcast, Elizabeth sits down with Dr. Marty Lerner, a seasoned expert in addiction and recovery. Dr. Lerner introduces the idea that recovery is an art form, requiring a profound shift in one's psyche and personality. It's not just about quitting the substance; it's about silencing the ego and recognizing the inherent goodness in others.
He offers practical advice on incorporating exercise, meditation, and mindful eating into the recovery process. Dr. Lerner also emphasizes the importance of self-respect and helping others as key components of a successful recovery journey. Whether you're on your own path to sobriety or supporting someone who is, this episode is packed with valuable insights that can help you navigate the complexities of addiction and personal transformation.
