How to Survive an Addiction Fast
Mark O'Mara: I'd have one beer and two hours later, I'm getting high on methamphetamine. He says he was courted by the US Marines at 17 but ended up going to jail. "I could see how the military is like a forced recovery,"O'Mara says.
Meditation, contemplation, all the spiritual practices, even therapy is all asking you to look within. You're not looking out there to solve your problem, you're looking within.

“As a person stays sober longer, and they're doing the work. They move into a place where they've read all the books, they've accumulated all the information, and you kind of realize that all that information is saying the same thing. Ultimately, within our heart and soul and being, we know the answers.”
- RJ Singh
Key Takeaways:
Sitting with Yourself: Being able to sit alone in a room and do nothing except be present to yourself in the moment is challenging for many. Learning to be with your thoughts, feelings, and the space inbetween is foundational to being present with life and others.
The Levels of the Mind: There are layers to the mind's activity and stories. Observation, engagement, identification, and witnessing. When all the thoughts settle and you have become a witness to how your mind functions a deep understanding is discovered.
Recovery: Addictions that undermine our health, relationships, and professional goals are like mold inside a wall. Unless you eradicate the root cause, identify the triggers, and build a solid community of support it is challenging to overcome the behaviors. Creating positive habits to replace the negative addictions is an important step to recovery.
Honesty: We all lie to ourselves at some point when we are living in an addiction. Getting clear about the insidious nature of deceit and how it undermines recovery is essential. And being truthful with our words and actions toward the self and others is necessary.
