What we do for others is key, and service is one of the main keys to sobriety and a happy life for me.
Imagine hitting rock bottom and finding an unexpected guide in the most unlikely of places. This episode of 'A Lust for Sober Life' features Desmond Quinn Hanuman, who shares his riveting journey from a failed suicide attempt to a life of purpose and mental well-being. Once a lawyer, Quinn's life took a dramatic turn after he found himself in a psych ward in Vancouver, Canada.
It was here that he met Reverend Jim, a schizophrenic street preacher whose words 'Cast your bread upon the waters' sparked a monumental shift in Quinn's life. He opens up about his struggle with anhedonia, a condition that robs one of the ability to feel pleasure, often linked to depression and other mental health issues.
This raw and honest conversation delves into the depths of Quinn's mental health battles, the coping mechanisms that work for him, and the importance of community support. He speaks candidly about how service, or 'seva', and practices like Yin Yoga and Metta Meditation have been crucial in his recovery. Quinn also discusses the risks of staying within one's comfort zone and the need to embrace discomfort as part of the healing process.
His story is not just about overcoming addiction; it's about finding self-acceptance and compassion in the face of life's toughest challenges. Whether you're navigating your own path to sobriety or supporting someone else on theirs, this episode offers valuable insights and a beacon of hope.
