From Heroin to Healing: Patrick Haize's Journey on The Awaken With Alyssa Podcast

But I found for myself that maintaining that sobriety, all of the trauma that was coming up and all the emotions that you have to deal with, what helped you?
Imagine hitting rock bottom in an underground clinic in Mexico, only to find a lifeline through plant medicine. That’s exactly what happened to Patrick Haize, and his story is nothing short of remarkable. In this episode of The Awaken With Alyssa Podcast, Patrick sits down with Alyssa to recount his battle with heroin addiction and the transformative journey that followed.
Patrick’s life took a dramatic turn when he encountered a plant medicine that not only saved him but also ignited his passion for helping others heal. Now a transformational mentor and musician, Patrick shares the profound lessons he learned along the way. He delves into the spiritual practices that played a pivotal role in his recovery, emphasizing the importance of the mind's power over matter.
Patrick's story is a testament to the healing potential of spiritual roots, such as those found in 12-step programs. But it’s not just about spirituality; Patrick also highlights the role of nutrition and herbs in maintaining sobriety. Transitioning from narcotic substances to non-narcotic herbs was a game-changer for him, providing a sustainable path to wellness. One of the most touching aspects of Patrick’s journey is his exploration of empathy in addiction recovery.
He discusses how debilitating empathy can be both a blessing and a curse, and shares strategies for managing it effectively. Patrick also doesn’t shy away from critiquing traditional Western medicine, advocating for discernment and self-advocacy in seeking alternative forms of healing. His story underscores the value of love, virtue, and the long-term benefits of postponing instant gratification.
For those interested in deeper spiritual growth, Patrick talks about the benefits of esoteric teachings and study groups, offering recommendations for books and resources that have been instrumental in his journey. This episode is a powerful reminder of the human spirit’s capacity to overcome even the toughest challenges, emerging stronger and more resilient.
