165. A craving or a relapse is not a failure but can facilitate lasting change with Dr Luke Sniewski
How I quit alcohol06/10/23 • 63 min
Once again, I catch up with incredible Dr Luke Sniewski in this episode we chat about the freedom and life changing power of radical self acceptance.
We chat about the importance of honest and acceptance playing a key role in addiction recovery.
How a practice of stillness can transform us, and how stillness and self acceptance go hand in hand.
How feeling into your body and tracking your feelings can transform us.
We also chat about how a relapse can be a beautiful learning tool and becoming an active participant of our own lives.
