Impermanence is like huge for me because, like in refuge, recovery. It's just something that was new to me. You know what I mean: just meditating on the impermanence of life, or just reading about impermanence and understanding it and really just accepting it like that life is impermanent.
Ever wondered how sexual desires can impact your recovery journey? In this episode of 'The Recovery Pod', Steven and his friends dive into the intricate dance between sexuality and impulse control during early recovery. They get candid about how sex can become a distraction, a means of seeking validation, or simply a way to chase those feel-good endorphins. The discussion doesn’t shy away from the messy bits—like attention-seeking behaviors and the struggle to maintain control over impulses.
But that’s not all. The conversation takes a philosophical turn as they explore the concept of impermanence, a cornerstone of Buddhism and Refuge Recovery. Impermanence is all about understanding that everything is in constant flux, and nothing lasts forever. For those battling addiction, this idea can be a game-changer. It offers a way to navigate the highs and lows without getting swept away by them.
Steven and his guests share personal stories that are both relatable and enlightening, making this episode a must-listen for anyone grappling with addiction, self-improvement, or mental health issues. Tune in for an honest, heartfelt chat that’s as thought-provoking as it is supportive.
