Leaving Behind the Shadow of Addiction

We carry with us many sections of self, but one piece doesn’t belong: the shadow of addiction. This uninvited guest overstays its welcome and discredits the great fondness and love we hold for others. It cowers at the promise of change, and it shrinks away from goodness. But it’s time to shine some light on its presence and kindly ask it to leave.

Recovery expert Dr. Allen Berger is well acquainted with the lingering shadow of addiction, and he knows all too well the ruination it brings to good recovery. Tune in and learn how to care for the parts of yourself still trapped in addiction, find peace and once again become whole.
