Removing chemicals from my system is a start. It's a very, very good starting point.
Ever wondered if your shadow has a thickness or what that might mean for your recovery journey? This episode of Crossroads Recovery Centre takes a fascinating dive into the concept of dimensions, both real and perceived, and how they relate to addiction and sobriety. Drawing inspiration from Edwin Abbott's book 'Flatland', the discussion explores how we often get lost in our minds, losing sight of reality as addiction takes hold.
It’s not just about drugs or alcohol – even without substances, we can find ourselves spiralling out of control. The host challenges us to consider how our perceptions might be skewed, using metaphors like the bending straw in a glass of water to illustrate how reality can be deceptive. With light-hearted anecdotes and scientific musings, the episode delves into the idea that removing chemicals from our system is just the first step in seeing the truth.
Community plays a vital role in recovery, as the episode emphasises the importance of consulting with others to navigate obstacles. The host raises thought-provoking questions about time as a one-dimensional concept and its implications for living in the present moment. This episode is a blend of science, philosophy, and personal reflection, offering insights into how understanding dimensions can help us find clarity and purpose in our recovery journey.
