Episode notes
Addiction's Opposite
- The opposite of addiction isn't sobriety, but connection.
- Addictive behaviors often stem from a desire to alter one's internal state.
Questioning Addiction
- Instead of asking "why the addiction?", ask "why the pain?".
- Identify the internal state you're trying to avoid before resorting to addictive behaviors.
Connecting Instead of Escaping
- Connect with others, a higher version of yourself, or engage in activities reinforcing your values.
- Replace addictive behaviors with breathwork, meditation, journaling, exercise, or connecting with nature.
