Nikki Myers: Healing Through Yoga and the 12 Steps
“In recognizing that there is no thing, maybe that was a poor choice of words. And then it hit me, after all that stuff, I got to this place that I recognized, that you know I was in that chase, right.”
Ever thought about how yoga could intertwine with the 12-step program to aid in addiction recovery? Nikki Myers has, and her journey is nothing short of transformative. In this episode of 'The One Day At A Time Recovery Podcast', host Arlina Allen sits down with Nikki, the founder of y12sr, to explore her path from the depths of addiction to a place of peace and spirituality.

Her story sheds light on the critical role of spirituality and community support in overcoming addiction. Nikki also dives into the common trap of 'if, then else' thinking and how it can hinder recovery, as well as the often-overlooked connection between workaholism and addiction.
