For me, I have like this double fear: fear of failure and fear of success. I was like it's better for me to not have the good in exchange for not having the bad, if that you know, and I hated it, but at the same time I got used to it, you know, and I don't know. I mean, who would have thought that all I had to do is realize how not special I am and how everyone's not thinking about me all the time.
Ever wondered what it’s like to be on the other side of addiction? In this thought-provoking episode of The Recovery Pod, Steven is joined by Erik, an honorary guest, to discuss the complex emotions and challenges faced by those dealing with an addict in their lives. They dive into how addiction impacts relationships and the self-reflection it often brings about. You’ll hear about the universe's way of collecting its debts and how acceptance and authenticity play crucial roles in healing.
Steven and Erik also explore the difference between internal and external forces that shape our mental state. They shed light on how various traumas can lead people to dark places and how similar solutions can guide them back to the light. The conversation touches on the profound concept of the 'Dark Night of the Soul', a period of deep despair that can ultimately lead to personal growth and enlightenment.
Throughout the episode, the hosts share personal stories and insights, offering a raw and honest perspective on addiction and recovery. They discuss practical strategies for finding presence, identifying thoughts, and embracing your true self. This episode is not just for those struggling with addiction but also for anyone looking to understand the journey of recovery better.
