Sam D. joins Podcast Recovery to discuss the power of mindfulness in addiction recovery. With a light-hearted start involving car troubles and the unexpected costs of vehicle maintenance, Sam quickly shifts the conversation to his journey into mindfulness and Eastern spirituality. He shares how he initially missed the concept of mindfulness despite studying Buddhism, focusing more on the philosophical aspects rather than practical applications.
This episode is rich with anecdotes and reflections on how staying present can transform one's approach to life and recovery. Sam's candid recounting of his early recovery days, including a challenging relationship and the pivotal moment when he discovered Eckhart Tolle's 'The Power of Now', offers a relatable narrative for anyone struggling with similar issues. The hosts, David O. and Eric V., engage with Sam on topics ranging from emotional maturity to the importance of non-judgmental awareness.
They explore how mindfulness isn't just about meditation but also about accepting life events without self-imposed suffering. Whether you're new to recovery or have been on the journey for a while, this episode provides valuable insights into how mindfulness can be a powerful tool in managing both everyday stresses and deeper emotional challenges. Tune in for a blend of humour, personal stories, and practical advice that might just inspire you to incorporate mindfulness into your own recovery process.
