Today is April 14th, and right now it feels like the world is in limbo. The COVID-19 pandemic is effecting us on a global scale. So we are all currently self-quarantined within our homes. It’s hard for everyone, but it’s also an experience that’s triggering for many addicts. Being cooped up in our houses is causing many people to experience the emotional strife that led them to using during their days of active addiction. And that can be frightening. At a time like this, every tool is valuable; to help people who are in recovery to avoid relapse, and to help people who are in active addiction to transition successfully into sobriety. Check out this episode to discover a POWERFUL trick that can lessen the cravings to use, and help make this quarantine MUCH more manageable. We love you.

On this episode of the podcast we’ve got a very special guest with us. Gabrielle Huerta is a highly respected, 500-HR Yoga Instructor specializing in breath-work. She shares her wisdom about how yoga and meditative techniques can promote mental and emotional healing during recovery from addiction. She also helps us to understand how being in tune with our breath on a consistent basis can transform our experience of life. You don’t want to miss this episode!

Drug addiction is one hell of a monster, and as you would expect with a ferocious enemy, it doesn’t let go of us easily. Even after the drug is removed from our system, there is still damage to our brain that must be repaired. That’s a major reason post-recovery, we can still find ourselves unfulfilled, un-motivated, and struggling to create our best life. This episode is all about how “Dopamine Detoxing” can MAJORLY benefit the lives of those who’ve overcome active addiction.

We all know the basic human needs: food, water, and shelter, right? But did you know that we have PSYCHOLOGICAL needs too? We do. Bottom line, there are 6 of them and they run our lives. Imagine playing baseball without knowing how to win? That’s how hard it is to navigate recovery without knowing the psychological needs influencing your addiction. Listen to this episode to find out all 6, and how you can use them to improve your recovery journey!

Our thoughts and emotions determine our quality of life. This is even MORE evident to people in recovery. It can be such a struggle to manage ourselves when we’re feeling lonely, or sad, or discouraged. Check this episode out, because it will CHANGE your experience of recovery forever.
