James M's Journey: Powerlessness and Healing After 17 Years Sober

I want to live a happier and healthier life. I want to contribute more to the outside world and to people in my life, and I can't do that if I'm sick.
James M, a veteran of 17 years in Violence Anonymous (VA), opens up about the ongoing battle with powerlessness despite his long-term sobriety. In this candid episode, James dives into the physical and emotional struggles that have plagued him, even after years of being sober. He discusses the complex relationship between the mind and body, revealing how unresolved internal conflicts can manifest as physical pain.
Listeners are taken on a journey through James' personal experiences, where he recounts living on the 'drama triangle'—a cycle of fear, discomfort, and conflict. But this isn't just a tale of struggle; it's also one of triumph. James shares how he has learned to process triggers and neutralize trauma, transforming his life into one of warmth and happiness.
James also touches on the generational patterns of conflict and violence addiction within his family, shedding light on how these inherited behaviors have affected his own life. Through his story, he encourages listeners to identify their own patterns and take proactive steps towards healing. This episode is a beacon for anyone grappling with violence addiction or internal conflict. James' insights on reframing thoughts and recognizing triggers offer practical advice for leading a healthier, happier life.
