episodic We talk about overcoming adversity, we talked about addiction, and these are things that are never really hot topics. However as we create more safe places to have healthy conversations, it encourages a positive environment to grow. If we equip ourselves and prepare to have certain conversations, overall our experience becomes healthier & happier. They don't need to be ominous or scary.

Join us as we have Healthy conversations about Overcoming Addiction. Taking a mindfulness approach to confronting Mental Health challenges.

Even on the best days, an addict mindset is a challenge to deal with. When stressed, how do we stop our addict brain from making decisions for us? Does Self-Mastery and a positive mindset really help?

If I'm not looking after myself. If I'm not taking care of my needs, or looking out for my mental health. It won't take much to trigger me. The same triggers for you, may not be the same triggers for me.

In this episode we talk about how a single match stick (if left unchecked) can turn into a dumpster fire.

A comfort zone is reassuring, but there's also a negative impact from comfort zones. From an addiction perspective, if I limit my view of life, by restricting my perception only seeing things I want to see. If I'm only having conversations that I want to have. I'm now artificially creating certain outcomes. This could be called meticulous, or culpable. This is an artificial comfort zone. My comfort zone might not actually be comforting.

The year 2020, or separating myself from Ego?

Identifying there's a problem is one thing, reaching out for help is another thing. Ego & Pride can stop both. Ego & Pride have never served me. They don't serve others, and they certainly don't serve the greater good.

 I share examples from Jordan Peterson & Deepak Chopra.

What would happen if I had just one drink?

In today's episode we play the tape to the end. *spoiler alert* My world would fall apart. Hands down, my addiction would get the best of me. It starts with just one drink, but rapidly escalates out of control.

I share what I do to stay one step a head of my addiction.

Working on my recovery isn't something that someday I'm going to do, it's something that everyday I'm doing.

Like one time, I accidently bought double the cooking ingredients and found myself pivoting to a new for meal prep strategy at 11 PM.

We've talked about identifying emotions. The ones that impact my mood the most are Hungry. Angry. Lonely. Tired. To avoid becoming HANGRY, I spend 90% of my day looking after these. Friends don't let friends make decisions when they're hangry!

Looking past the raw feeling, and identifying emotions can help understand the underlying issue.

I share perspectives of some of my favorite authors.

We talk about anchoring emotions to experiences. Is it possible to co-create the world as we experience it. Is there another way for me to perceive what's happening right now?

Join us as we talk about how a support group (for me), served as my higher power in early recovery. There's a certain level of accountability and support that can come from support meetings. Forming healthy habits is difficult for anything new, especially being open and honest (with myself and others).
