We can't be delusional and completely ignore things that are going on in our life. What we can do is transmute those things.
In this episode of My Sober Addiction, Matt Stevens dives deep into the concept of transmuting addiction and the pitfalls of toxic positivity. He shares his personal journey from the depths of addiction to finding a new purpose in sobriety. Matt explores the idea that while positivity is essential, ignoring past traumas isn't the answer. Instead, he advocates for addressing these issues head-on and transforming them into something beneficial.
Drawing inspiration from the Kaibalian, he explains how we can use mentalism to turn our negative experiences into positive outcomes. Matt also discusses the commercialisation of hope and manifestation, emphasising that true change comes from within and not from buying into quick fixes. He uses his own story as an example of how one can take the darkness of addiction and create something meaningful, like this podcast.
With anecdotes about his relationships with his children and the importance of self-forgiveness, Matt's message is clear: acknowledge your past, forgive yourself, and use your experiences to build a better future. Whether you're struggling with addiction or supporting someone who is, this episode offers valuable insights and practical advice. Ready to turn your struggles into strengths?
