In The Circle podcast presents a captivating episode with Tommy Rosen, exploring the age-old question: Can one truly be free from addiction? Tommy, a renowned yoga teacher and addiction recovery expert, engages in a deep conversation with Luis, a Recovery 2.0 member, as they tackle the complex notion of being 'once an addict, always an addict'. Luis shares his journey and challenges the idea that addiction is a lifelong battle, highlighting his personal growth and freedom from alcohol.
Tommy and Luis dissect 'The Big 6' - the main categories of addiction - and 'The 4 Aggravations', shedding light on how these mental addictions can be more insidious than substance abuse. They ponder whether it's possible to shed the old skin of addiction and be free once and for all. Tommy offers a refreshing perspective, suggesting that healing comes when one stops seeking a cure and embraces presence in the moment.

With a blend of humour and honesty, Tommy's insights provide hope and clarity, emphasising that recovery is about discovering new paths and stepping into a life of joy and creativity.
