Addiction Isn’t A Dirty Word with Bash Bashford

Addiction Isn’t A Dirty Word with Bash Bashford

WHO IS BASH BASHFORD? Bash Bashford knows addiction inside out. After a trauma-filled childhood and 25 years of deep addiction, he has now celebrated 18 years of recovery. For the past 6 years, he’s been dedicated to supporting others through their own struggles with addiction using a powerful programme that’s already changing lives—and will soon be shared in his upcoming book. I (currently) don’t believe there is a cure for addiction but I do believe that addiction can be put into remission and will stay there, all the while you have a daily, active, fun and sustainable recovery plan in place. IN THIS TALK, Bash opens up about the real root causes of addiction and the common misunderstandings that keep recovery rates low. He’ll also share why meditation, journaling, and exercise are such powerful tools for keeping addiction in remission, along with insights into metacognition and how to truly change thought patterns. You’ll also hear about the 6 stages of the addiction cycle—from pre-contemplation to recycling—and discover practical ways to move forward at any stage.
