Heal Addictions With Forgiveness
Are you struggling with an addiction? Maybe you are in recovery and want more skills to stay healthy. Or perhaps a loved one is addicted to a substance or behavior, and you just don't know what to do.
Everyone searches for some kind of inner peace. Some of us go for a short term high, some deny the pain, and some spend years in therapy or practicing meditation. We just want to be happy, but sometimes we get caught in an addictive, downward spiral instead of achieving the happiness we crave.
This course explores the essential connections between addiction, forgiveness and recovery. Our misery drives us to drink, shoot up, shop, work and screw ourselves into a hell world of desolation. Fortunately, there is a way out!
A perfect path exists for each person who wants to heal. Your recovery may involve meetings, detox, counseling, diet, exercise, lifestyle and social changes, and perhaps new therapies involving plant medicine. My gently insistent point throughout this course is that our healing must also include forgiveness if we want it to last.
With stories, humor, curiosity and soul searching, we will learn together. I've included my own story as well as interviews with people who've made the inspiring commitment to liberate themselves, despite their history of alcoholism, heroin and nicotine addiction.
In addition, we'll explore exciting developments with sacred plant medicines, which are helping people unwind from decades of acute addiction, even to opiates and methamphetamine.
Each lesson includes exercises, meditations, and inspiring examples of forgiveness and healing. With this information, you will receive a direct link to the inner peace that comes from deep, soulful letting go.
