Mindfulness has just touched my heart and opened my heart more than anything else. Whatever comes my way, I try to practice equanimity, meaning that I don't try to label things good or bad.
Imagine turning the turmoil of addiction into a life filled with adventure and grace. That's exactly what Tom Catton, author of 'The Mindful Addict: A Memoir of the Awakening of a Spirit', has done. In this episode of 'Spirit of Recovery', Tom takes us through his incredible forty-year journey of recovery.
Growing up in the '60s, Tom was drawn to Eastern philosophies and meditation, but it took hitting rock bottom in his addiction for him to fully embrace a spiritual path. Now, with over four decades of sobriety, he shares how saying 'yes' to Spirit's guidance has led him to a life of service and inner peace. Tom's commitment to meditation and mindfulness isn't just a practice; it's a way of life.
He discusses how these tools have helped him navigate life's ups and downs with equanimity, finding joy in even the simplest moments. As a member of the advisory board of the Buddhist Recovery Network, Tom brings a wealth of experience and wisdom to the conversation. His story is not just about overcoming addiction but about thriving and finding purpose.
Whether you're in recovery, supporting someone who is, or simply curious about spiritual growth, Tom's insights offer valuable lessons on embracing life's challenges with grace and presence.
