In this episode of 'Ashes To Rubies: Addiction To Connection', Jon R. delves into the concept of pausing throughout the day. Drawing from his own experiences as a recovered alcoholic and drug addict, Jon shares the importance of taking intentional breaks to maintain spiritual and mental health. He humorously reflects on how telling someone to 'chill out' never actually helps them relax, and instead, offers practical advice on how to effectively pause and find serenity in everyday life.
Jon introduces the acronym PAWS, which stands for Postpone Action Until Serenity enters, as a tool for those in recovery to avoid unnecessary speech and actions driven by agitation or doubt.
