Chuang Tzu's Turtle: Unpacking True Happiness in Recovery
“It's not something like when I go and buy a new pair of shoes. It's not that kind of serotonin hit, it's a whole different kind of hit.”
Can true happiness be found by looking inward rather than chasing external success? In this episode of 'Tao of Our Understanding Alcohol Recovery Podcast', Sensei Elliston explores this intriguing question through the lens of Chuang Tzu's Taoist teachings. Using the metaphor of the turtle, he delves into what it means to find contentment within ourselves, regardless of our outward circumstances. The discussion touches on defining personal happiness, living in the moment, and discovering a higher power through nature.
Sensei Elliston also shares valuable insights on overcoming fear, dealing with past behaviors, and staying true to oneself during recovery. The episode goes further to address the pitfalls of relapse prevention language and highlights the benefits of encouraging sobriety in virtual meetings. It's a thoughtful and engaging conversation that promises to resonate with anyone on the path to recovery.
