Since meditation really saved me from addiction, but also I think saved my life. My goal at my age right now is to reach as many people as possible.
Ever wondered if meditation could be the key to conquering addiction? In this episode of 'Tribe Sober', Janet Gourand chats with Chuck Schad, the founder of Inner Theater, who has a fascinating story to share. Chuck's journey started in the late '60s, dabbling in meditation under the guidance of a Vietnamese monk. Life's demands—raising kids and busy careers—put his practice on hold.
However, a rough patch involving a business collapse and his son's drug issues led Chuck down a path of increased drinking. Seeking help, Chuck tried AA but found it wasn't his cup of tea. Even with medical intervention, including prescribed Benzos for anxiety, Chuck struggled. That's when he turned back to meditation, which became his lifeline. Now, he's passionate about sharing how mindfulness can help others in their recovery journeys.
In this episode, Chuck not only shares his story but also guides listeners through a calming five-minute meditation. This simple practice can be a powerful tool for anyone feeling the urge to drink. Whether you're new to meditation or looking for fresh insights, Chuck's experience and gentle guidance offer a beacon of hope. If you're curious about how mindfulness can reshape your relationship with alcohol, this conversation is a must-listen.
