"Recovery is not merely the absence of a substance. But abstinence, abstinence of the time, is the way most of us should live, not only because it interrupts our physical sobriety, but it gets in the way of our spiritual or emotional and our mental connection, which, combined with the physical sobriety, is the four areas or the alignment we need to live in."
Ever wondered why addiction often feels so isolating? In this episode of The Recovery Guy Podcast, Robert Pardon, with his three decades of experience, dives into the root causes of substance abuse and destructive behaviors. He highlights a key insight: selfishness and self-centeredness are often at the core of addiction. These negative traits can trap individuals in a cycle of harmful habits, driven by a fear of not measuring up.
But Robert offers hope and practical advice for breaking free from this cycle. He emphasizes that recovery is more than just abstaining from substances; it's about creating a balanced life that aligns physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual well-being. Drawing from the first tradition of Alcoholics Anonymous, Robert underscores the importance of connection and unity. He believes that building supportive relationships is crucial for lasting recovery.
Tune in to hear Robert's wisdom on how to shift from a self-centered mindset to one that embraces community and support.
