Hamza Najam, a certified breathwork teacher and recovery coach, joins Pete Souza on The Payoff podcast to share his compelling journey of overcoming alcoholism and achieving sobriety. Growing up in Pakistan, where alcohol is illegal, Hamza's initial encounters with alcohol were fraught with risk and excessive consumption. Moving to Canada at 19, his drinking habits intensified, leading to a realization of his dependency and the need for change. Hamza's sobriety date, March 11, 2020, marks over five years of recovery.
His transformation involved not only traditional 12-step programs but also the incorporation of breathwork techniques. This innovative approach provides individuals struggling with addiction a powerful tool to manage cravings and emotional triggers. In the podcast, Hamza demonstrates alternate nostril breathing, a method he uses to help interrupt patterns of addiction. He emphasizes the importance of understanding one's emotional vulnerabilities, or Achilles heels, and practicing resilience against them.
Through his masterclass, available online, Hamza educates and empowers others to focus on underlying emotional issues rather than solely on abstinence. One of Hamza's most impactful moments in his career was helping a member achieve sobriety, which led to an emotional letter from her daughter expressing newfound safety and love. Hamza's work not only aids individuals in their personal recovery but also positively affects those around them.
The episode is a testament to the transformative power of breathwork and emotional resilience in overcoming addiction. Hamza's insights provide hope and practical strategies for anyone seeking sobriety and a healthier life.
