When it comes to training our minds and hearts in the path of recovery, each of us must find the balance of applying the right amount of effort, not so much that we get strained, not so little that we get spaced out.
What does it take to find the right balance in recovery? In this episode of the Refuge Recovery podcast, Noah Levine dives into the sixth factor of the Eightfold Path: Effort | Energy. Refuge Recovery, a non-theistic program rooted in Buddhist principles, offers a unique approach to overcoming addiction. Noah, the founder of Refuge Recovery, sheds light on how maintaining the right level of effort can make or break your recovery journey.
Too much effort can lead to burnout, while too little can result in complacency and relapse. The key is finding that sweet spot where your efforts are sustainable and effective. Noah shares his own experiences with meditation and routine, emphasizing their importance in maintaining sobriety. He also discusses the value of community involvement and mentorship, urging listeners to participate in meetings and events, and to offer their time and energy to help others in their recovery journeys.
Forgiveness and compassion are also highlighted as crucial elements in the path to recovery. This episode is packed with practical advice and personal anecdotes that can help anyone struggling with addiction find a sustainable path to recovery.
