I have a question about this episode #392: It's Not Your Fault, But It's Your Responsibility: Healing Trauma with Thais Gibson and this Healing Through Connection. I struggle with addiction. I start drinking or using drugs, and it gets bad quickly, with 3-day hangovers and week-long withdrawals. I’ll get sober, but a week or two later, I relapse. Sometimes it's worse than others, depending on how fast I decide I need to stop. I’m severely depressed and tired of living like this. I get no joy or tranquility, which makes me give in to drinking and drugs again. I desperately want to be sober and find peace. Is there anything specific I can focus on, such as vitamins, gut health, or other lifestyle changes, to break this vicious cycle?
If I have worked super hard on myself physically and mentally for years as a 21-year-old man, why does it sting so much more when I open up about my life, values, and passions and still don't achieve a deeper connection? This question relates to the episodes 'I Thought My Business Was Over!' How Embracing My Traumatic Past Unlocked Abundance and Healing Through Self-Awareness, as well as episode #386: The Truth About Heartbreak with Sahara Rose, and the clip Healing Through Aloneness.
