You think cannabis is your problem. I can assure you it's an attempt at a solution. That's not your problem at all. Alcohol will not be your problem. That will be another attempt. Any other drug, that will be another attempt. Sex, that will be another attempt. Codependency, gambling, drama, trauma, all of it. The addiction itself, the thing that you are seeking, you are knocking on the door of the next level of peace and healing and presence in your life
What do you do when the world around you feels like it's pushing all your buttons? In this episode of 'In The Circle', Tommy Rosen tackles a question from Tim that hits home for many: How can we react differently to people, places, and things that irritate or trigger us? This isn't just about avoiding old habits but finding new ways to deal with life's frustrations without resorting to addictive behaviors.
Tommy digs into the idea of shifting our focus from seeking external validation to finding peace within ourselves. He discusses how our minds often look for satisfaction outside, leading to a cycle of frustration and disappointment when things don't go our way. Instead, he suggests that true alignment and peace come from an inward journey. Recovery isn't just about quitting substances; it's about elevating our consciousness and living with presence, kindness, and compassion.
Tommy shares insights on developing a 'neutral mind', the benefits of self-reflection, and how to stay centered amidst chaos. This episode is a call to action for anyone on the path of recovery or personal growth, offering practical advice and deep reflections on navigating life's triggers and embracing inner calm.
