Craving Wolves Addiction Podcast

Carel van Heerden

The podcast to help you battle the everyday struggle with addiction, cravings, dependency and bad habits but also give you some helpful tips and good habits that help me. This podcast will give my struggles and triumphs with addiction some life and hopefully assist you in your own battle regarding addiction. The reason for the name and artwork of this Podcast is based on the Yin Yang sign from Taoism, depicted by two wolves, a good wolf and an evil wolf. A concept of addiction is that these wolves live inside you and you have to choose which one to feed… Addiction effects everyone in a different way, a different reaction to different substances, some people are able to have one drink and never be concerned others have one and there whole life turns upside down. A small note about me, my biggest dependencies were cigarettes and alcohol and I am more that 5 year free of both of them. This podcast will house my point of view on addiction, dependency, cravings, Habits (Good and Bad) and give a platform for people to reach out and let their stories be heard, through me or as a guest on the show. I will discuss things that helped me in the battle and obstacles that hindered me throughout the continuous war with addiction. The Podcast will have a feel good serious vibe where some hard topics will be discussed in relieving way to deal with these hard topics. I want to let you know you are not alone in this struggle and together we can start saying no to things that don’t fulfil us and yes to things that do.

Porn Addiction: Breaking the Chains with Carel van Heerden

“Don't let society tell you that you need it, because I was told so many times: I need it, I need it.”

In this eye-opening episode of the Craving Wolves Addiction Podcast, Carel van Heerden dives into the complex world of porn addiction and society's often blasé attitude towards it. Carel doesn't just scratch the surface; he shares his own personal battles with porn addiction, shedding light on how societal acceptance can make it even harder to seek help and find support. He likens addiction to the Yin Yang symbol from Taoism, represented by two wolves - one good and one evil.

The choice of which wolf to feed becomes a powerful metaphor for the daily struggle of those battling addiction. Carel emphasizes that just because a behavior is widespread doesn't make it right, drawing a stark comparison to more universally condemned actions like murder. He stresses the importance of forming bonds with others who are also in recovery, highlighting how shared struggles can create strong, supportive relationships.

The episode wraps up on an encouraging note, urging listeners to focus on positive aspects of their lives and to connect with others facing similar challenges. Carel's candid reflections and practical advice offer a beacon of hope for anyone grappling with addiction.
