Sobriety Through Unlearning: A Taoist Perspective
“Is sobriety like everything else? Get educated, work hard, and if you don’t get it at first, double down and work even harder? Or is sobriety the opposite? Instead, are we to place our effort in helping others as a way of helping ourselves. Is sobriety all about unlearning? About forgetting what I think I know?”

This episode of 'The Tao of Our Understanding Recovery Podcast' dives into the mystical teachings of Taoist literature, exploring how these ancient philosophies can offer fresh insights into alcohol recovery.

Through personal anecdotes and spiritual reflections, the conversation highlights the importance of staying present and accepting life's challenges as they come. This episode offers a unique blend of spiritual guidance and practical advice, making it a must-listen for anyone on their recovery journey.
