Addiction Recovery: A Path of Healing and Transformation

Addiction is more than just a habit—it’s a deep, often painful cycle that disconnects us from ourselves and the people we love. True recovery isn’t just about quitting a substance or behavior; it’s about healing at the root. It’s about rebuilding trust in ourselves, rewiring our brains, and finding a sense of purpose that makes life worth living without the crutch of addiction.

In our latest podcast for Recovery.com, my colleague Jack Browner and I dive into what real recovery looks like. We both know firsthand the power of a structured, faith-based approach—one that blends spiritual insight with practical tools, mentorship, and service. Our journey has been shaped by 12-step principles, buddhism, mindfulness, evolutionary biology, mentorship, service work, radical honesty, and redefining spirituality in a way that actually fits our beliefs.

If you’re struggling with addiction or simply curious about a deeper healing process, this episode is for you. We talk about dopamine addiction, shame, trauma, and how to truly break free—not just by quitting, but by relearning how to live fully, with integrity, connection, and joy.
