If you are struggling with substance abuse, distractions or if you find it unbearable to be alone with yourself, I encourage you to tune into today’s episode about my own journey to sobriety. I believe that you can abuse anything; addictions are things that distract you from dealing with your emotions and emotional intelligence naturally comes when you allow yourself to detox from these distractions. I will use my own experience, as a guide, to show you how you can unblock your energy so you can break free of your dependencies because you have everything you need within yourself to experience joy, love and light.

Memorable Quotes:
“Sobriety in this context, is not just about not using drugs or alcohol but is also about not consuming any and all substances or materials or things that are not supportive for wholeness and really focusing on nourishment.” [3:10]
“I believe that we can abuse anything.” [9:20]

“We are inundated with stimulation and distraction, that whenever we feel the slight tidbit of uncomfortability we will grab our phone, we will text someone, we will call someone, we will read a book, we will do something to get rid of it or to numb the pain.” [12:24]
