Enlightenment is just a breath away.
What happens when you blend decades of recovery experience with the calming practice of meditation? You get Tom Catton’s inspiring journey. In this episode of Safe Recovery, Tom, the author of 'The Mindful Addict', opens up about his nearly four-decade-long path to sobriety. From the beaches of Kailua to the prison systems of Hawaii, Tom has dedicated his life to recovery and service.
He’s not just a survivor; he’s a beacon of hope for those looking for alternative ways to heal from addiction. Tom’s story is one of resilience and reinvention. He’s been a fixture in twelve-step programs, speaking to thousands and contributing to key recovery texts. But it’s his integration of Buddhist principles and meditation that sets his journey apart.
Imagine sitting in a serene meditation group in Hawaii, guided by someone who’s walked the tough road of addiction and come out the other side with wisdom to share. In this candid conversation with host Monica Richardson, Tom discusses the transformative power of mindfulness. He explains how meditation differs from prayer and why non-judgmental support is crucial for anyone on the path to recovery.
If you’ve ever felt that traditional methods alone aren’t enough, Tom’s approach might offer the balance you’re seeking. Tune in to hear how mindfulness can be a powerful tool in your recovery toolkit. Whether you’re sober, moderating, or supporting someone else, Tom’s insights will resonate deeply. This episode isn’t just about sobriety; it’s about finding peace and empowerment in every step of your journey.
