The Struggle to Surrender: Tackling Screen Addiction and Recovery
The magical thing that I have found in recovery is that shame really is the lowest vibration.
Ever wondered why letting go can be so tough, especially when you're on the road to recovery? In this episode of 'The Recovered Life Show', hosts Damon Frank and Kristina Dennis dig into the challenging process of surrendering in early recovery. They break down what it really means to surrender—accepting that you might not have all the answers and being open to guidance from a higher power, life, or the universe.
It's not an easy journey, but it's crucial for growth and progress. Damon and Kristina also shine a light on the importance of peer support groups, the pitfalls of perfectionism, and the weight of shame. These elements can either hinder or help your recovery journey, and understanding them is key. But that's not all. The hosts also address a modern-day issue that many of us are grappling with: screen addiction.
They discuss how gaming and screen time can become just as addictive as substances, particularly affecting adolescents and children. Damon and Kristina emphasize the need for harm reduction strategies and role modeling good behavior for younger generations. They encourage seeking professional help and having open conversations about the dangers of excessive screen time within communities.
