Loneliness is the number one problem that people come in with. And in reality that's what Sid was talking about: accepting beyond your intellect, beyond what you see, and loneliness you can see, or is like idleness. You know you're just, you've got the blinkers on and you can't see beyond. Is the cause of addiction, the separation from feeling one experiences?
Feeling alone during the holidays can be especially tough, and it’s a common struggle for many battling addiction. In this episode of 'Addiction, Alcoholism & The 3 Principles', hosts Harry Derbitsky and Greg Suchy dive into the issue of loneliness and introduce the H.A.L.T. recovery tool from Alcoholics Anonymous (A.A.). H.A.L.T., which stands for Hunger, Anger, Loneliness, and Tiredness, is a simple yet powerful tool to help those in recovery recognize and manage their triggers.
The discussion kicks off with an exploration of how social media can amplify feelings of loneliness. Harry and Greg then shift to the 3 Principles perspective on loneliness, shedding light on how understanding our thoughts can transform our emotional experiences. They talk about the value of solitude and how being alone with one's thoughts can actually be a path to healing.
Listeners will also hear about the connection between ego-driven thinking and addiction, and why accepting thoughts beyond intellectual understanding can be liberating. The episode touches on the purity of original thought and how nature's calming influence can benefit mental health. By linking addiction to feelings of separation, Harry and Greg offer a fresh take on recovery that goes beyond conventional wisdom.
Whether you’re in recovery yourself, supporting a loved one, or simply curious about the mental aspects of addiction, this episode provides practical insights and heartfelt advice. Tune in to discover how loneliness and the H.A.L.T. tool can play a crucial role in your journey towards sobriety.
