I think people, people relinquish control from their own thought patterns and processes, whereas, like you, are in control of them ultimately, and you choose where to focus your energy, and if it's something negative that's not adding to your life.
What if breaking free from addiction didn't mean following the traditional 12-step path? In this episode of 'Chasing Heroine: Addiction Recovery Podcast', Jeannine Coulter Lindgren and Narcan Nate sit down with Coach Andrew Moses, who offers a fresh perspective on recovery. Andrew's journey from dependency on OxyContin and methamphetamine to long-term sobriety began in 2018 when he decided to prioritize his health by joining a gym.
His unique approach centers around creating a personalized recovery plan that focuses on joy and purpose, rather than following a one-size-fits-all method. Andrew dives into the science of dopamine, the brain's pleasure and reward neurotransmitter, explaining how understanding its role can help rewire our motivations. By fostering positive thought patterns and joyful habits, Andrew's program aims to shift the brain's desire from harmful substances to healthier sources of happiness.
This episode also touches on the impact of gay trauma on addiction. Andrew shares his own experiences of growing up closeted and how feelings of shame and isolation led him to substance abuse as a coping mechanism. Through his recovery journey, he's learned to embrace his true self and find fulfillment in fitness and health. Listeners will find this episode both enlightening and inspiring, as it highlights the importance of compassionate, non-judgmental support in recovery.
Whether you're battling addiction yourself or supporting someone who is, Andrew's story and methods offer a beacon of hope. Tune in to discover how a personalized, non-12 step program can empower you to build a life filled with joy and purpose.
