EP 235: How to Heal Addiction

In today’s episode, I talk about my journey with addiction and how I overcame it. I discuss the methods that worked for me and what it took for me to change my unhealthy patterns.

For anyone who has struggled with addiction, impulsive behaviors, or unhealthy coping mechanisms, I think this episode will be great for you. I’m so happy you’re curious and getting the clarification or awakening you need.

If you are listening and have healed an addiction but feel shame or judgement towards yourself and controlling to prevent it, I think this will be very helpful for you.

For much of my life, I had unhealthy coping behaviors to escape my reality. I had unhealthy behaviors of coping with energy in my body I didn’t want to fall (anxiety, stress, overwhelm). We are often taught to use medicines in a way that doesn’t serve us, or serve as medicine.

We have a spectrum of dark and light sides. The dark is drugs (alcohol, binge eating, heroine, pharmaceuticals for escaping reality) and the light side is medicine. For a long time, I carried a lot of shame around the time of my life where I coped with drugs and alcohol. I had to do a lot of deep work to realize it was me trying to function as a human and not knowing how to meet my needs.

I encourage you to get curious about modalities that can work for you. For me, I sing, dance, drum, bathe, practice plant medicine, take time in nature, etc.

The time that you take to pause and go into sobriety is a chance to learn healthy right relationship patterns and come back into a place of loving yourself and not abusing yourselves.

I encourage you to look at your life where you are not a victim to your patterns, but a creator of your reality. You have the power and the choice to choose something different.

Where in my life am I able right now in this moment to make better choices?

Where am I able to deepen my study and take action to better my life?
