Summary: Please forgive the inferior sound quality of this podcast, as this was a recorded conference call. Everyone knows someone whose life has been ruined by their own addiction or that of a loved one. Our basic programming from birth is to seek pleasure and avoid pain, but by the time we are about 6 years old, we should outgrow this programming and come to understand the path of love and truth. If this reprogramming does not occur, we start to seek love substitutes to fill the void of the perceived pain or lack of pleasure. This leads to an imbalanced life, which often leads to addictions originating from fear. But fear cannot heal fear – only love can. There are several ways to break an addiction, some healthy, some not: Be separated forcibly from the substance or person This has a 97% failure rate Hit bottom Your programming can be changed in an instant Transformational “aha!” moment Prayer and meditation can change your programming over time God can do a miracle This comes when you release your expectations Consciously deprogram and reprogram using the tools Look at pain, pleasure, addiction, and desire individually You and your loved ones can be finally free of your addictions by choosing to live in love in the present moment and leave the results up to God.
