Lição 1
You Are Not Broken
In this first lesson, we explore the profound truth that *you are not broken*. Despite the challenges and detours that addiction may have brought into your life, your core self remains whole and intact.
It's easy to internalise the struggles of addiction as a reflection of your worth, but they are merely temporary states, not definitions of who you are. This lesson invites you to recognise that addiction is not your identity; it is simply a coping mechanism for deeper discomfort or pain. By understanding this, you begin to open the door to healing and freedom.
Embrace the possibility that beneath the layers of struggle, there is an unbroken essence within you, ready to guide you toward a path of hope and liberation.
Lots of Love, MamaJ
Lição 2
The Brain's Best Attempt To Help
In this lesson, we delve into the understanding that even our most challenging habits are often the brain's best attempt to help us cope with discomfort or stress.
Our brains are wired for survival, and sometimes, they interpret certain behaviours as necessary for immediate relief, even if those behaviours don't serve our long-term well-being. This lesson invites you to view your habits with curiosity and compassion rather than judgment.
By recognising that these patterns are not a reflection of weakness or failure but rather a misguided attempt at self-protection, you open the door to understanding and change. Embrace this opportunity to explore why your brain chooses certain habits and what it might be trying to protect you from.
Lição 3
Rediscovering Your Life Force
In this lesson, we explore the concept of your life force—an innate well-being that remains constant beneath the noise of thoughts and emotions. Often, we become entangled in our "thought-created reality," which can make us feel inadequate or overwhelmed.
However, beneath these mental narratives lies a deeper truth: you are whole and complete.
This lesson invites you to reconnect with this ever-present life force, helping you realise that you are not defined by your thoughts or feelings. By tapping into this well-being, you can find the strength to move beyond addiction and embrace true freedom.
Lição 4
The Innocence Of Addiction
In this lesson, we explore the idea that addiction is an innocent search for relief from uncomfortable feelings. Often, addiction begins as a way to escape stress, anxiety, loneliness, or pain—an attempt to find comfort in the moment.
However, external solutions like substances or compulsive behaviours only provide temporary relief and can lead to more suffering. This lesson invites you to recognise that true relief doesn't come from outside sources but from within your innate well-being.
By connecting with this inner source of comfort, you can begin to break free from the cycle of addiction and discover that you are already whole and complete.
Lição 5
You Are Not Your Addiction
In this final lesson, we challenge the notion that the label "addict" defines who you are. While acknowledging addiction is a crucial step in recovery, it's important to remember that this label is not your identity.
It merely describes a behaviour, not your true self or worth. Holding onto such labels can limit your potential for growth and healing, narrowing your view of yourself.
This lesson encourages you to release these limiting labels and embrace the fullness of your true identity. You are a complex, beautiful human being with infinite potential, and you always have the power to move forward into a life of freedom.
