Understanding the root causes of addiction is essential for true healing from "summary" of One Breath at a Time by Kevin Griffin
To truly heal from addiction, we must go beyond simply addressing the symptoms of our addictive behavior. We must dive deep into the underlying root causes that drive us to seek relief in substances or behaviors that ultimately harm us. Understanding these root causes is essential for making lasting changes and breaking free from the cycle of addiction. Addiction is often a response to deep emotional pain, trauma, or other unresolved issues that we may not even be fully aware of. These underlying issues can manifest in a variety of ways, leading us to seek relief in substances or behaviors that provide temporary escape or numbing. However, this relief is only temporary, and in the end, it only serves to perpetuate our suffering. By understanding the root causes of our addiction, we can begin to address the true source of our pain and find healthier ways to cope with and resolve it. This process of self-discovery and healing is not easy, and it may require us to face difficult emotions and memories that we have long avoided. However, it is only by doing this deep inner work that we can truly heal and break free from the grip of addiction. Healing from addiction is a journey of self-discovery and self-compassion. It is about coming to terms with our past, accepting our present reality, and creating a new future for ourselves. By understanding the root causes of our addiction, we can begin to unravel the tangled web of pain and suffering that has kept us trapped for so long. Through this process of understanding and healing, we can cultivate a sense of inner peace and wholeness that transcends the temporary relief of addictive behaviors. We can learn to connect with our true selves, our deepest values, and our highest aspirations. In this way, we can find the true healing and liberation that we seek.
