And I had these experiences in The Week doing the meditation, you know, and I was kind of like: oh shit, this meditation stuff's pretty good. Like you know, I could probably get addicted to this doing this, but it was when I seen that on the outside, when I seen that happening in broad daylight, without any drugs, and yeah, I think that was like the first switch in my mind in a positive way.
What happens when life pushes you to the edge and you need to find a way back? For Cam Cooney, a Vedic Meditation teacher based in Glasgow, it all started with an emotional meltdown at work. Desperate for happiness, he turned to Google and stumbled upon meditation as a potential solution. Fast forward to today, Cam not only found his peace but also became a beacon of hope for others struggling with addiction.
In this episode of 'Not-Quite Alcoholics', host Rory Kinsella chats with Cam about his transformative journey. Cam opens up about his battle with alcohol and drug use, sharing how these substances were merely band-aids for deeper emotional wounds. His story takes a turn when he discovers the power of meditation, a practice that eventually became his lifeline. Cam didn’t just stop at self-healing; he embraced the role of a teacher.
He now runs a meditation studio in Glasgow and offers online sessions, helping others find their own 'natural high'. With humor and relatable memes, Cam makes meditation accessible and enjoyable for everyone. But it doesn’t stop there. Cam shares his vision for the future, which includes hosting residential retreats and expanding his supportive community. His approach is simple yet profound: meditation can be a powerful tool for sobriety, offering a sustainable path to emotional and mental well-being.
Whether you're curious about meditation or looking for new ways to manage your relationship with alcohol, this episode offers valuable insights and practical advice. Tune in to hear Cam's inspiring story and discover how mindfulness can pave the way to a healthier, happier life.
