How I got sober

The bottom line is that we are all different and unique people, so we must find a different and unique set of solutions that works for us individually. This video is about my journey to doing this. Ironically, in the end, I came to two general conclusions that I figure must be universal in nature: The first is it’s hard to be healthy in mind if you are not healthy in your body. There are some outliers… savages who run countries and global investment banks on Coca-Cola and fast food… Warren Buffet and Stephen Hawking come to mind… they are able to be hyper-successful and brilliant minds while in poor physical shape… but this doesn’t falsify anything. I didn’t say you can’t be healthy in mind if you’re not healthy in body, I’m saying it’s just a heck of a lot harder. Where the outliers are concerned, I would simply ponder how much MORE successful they might have been had they not been dealing with the downward pressure of poor physical health. Poor physical health creates strain on our mental health. It’s hard to find serenity and inner peace when your body is exploding with inflammation and you are suffering chronic stress due to hypertension. This is why I think it’s particularly important for anyone seeking to recover from substance abuse to take an approach to recovery that doesn’t neglect the body. In AA we say we seek to apply the principles of recovery “in all of our affairs.” I think the next big advance and paradigm shift in recovery needs to take into account the body so that we can TRULY apply the principles outlined in the 12 steps in all of our affairs INCLUDING our physical health. This is what I think is generally true in recovery. We all need to find our own unique balance, but fundamentally it must have both a mental and physical component. This is the path to true “spiritual progress.” We can work hard in recovery and go to meetings but the development of our spirit will be continually crushed under the weight of bad habits like poor diet and lack of exercise. Once we find this balance, we must share it. This is the second universal truth in recovery. We must share. Once we have found our balance we must help others find theirs.
