Love is a choice. It's fueled by a revelation, understanding and a choice every day to operate that way.
Ever thought about love as more than just a feeling? In this episode of 'The Recovering Reality Podcast', host Erik Frederickson offers a fresh perspective on love and its role in recovery. Erik, who has walked the challenging path of addiction and recovery, believes that love is a choice, not just an emotion. He dives into how understanding this can lead to true freedom from addiction and resentment.

He acknowledges that choosing love can be tough, especially when negative emotions are at play. But he emphasizes the power of kindness, patience, and forgiveness in transforming our lives and the lives of those around us. Erik's message is clear: love is a daily commitment.
It's about seeing ourselves and others through a lens of potential and treating everyone with the same kindness we hope to receive. By doing so, we can foster a culture of love that extends beyond our own lives, creating ripples of acceptance and freedom in our communities. This episode isn't just for those struggling with addiction. It's for anyone dealing with negative emotions or looking to build a more loving world.
