The Spiritual Science of Addiction Recovery: Beyond Quick Fixes
Ep. 43
This week’s episode continues our deep dive into addiction — but this time we look at why so many “solutions” fall short.
From watermelon fasts to supplements to sheer willpower, there’s no shortage of quick fixes and well-meaning advice in the recovery world. The problem? Most of them don’t address addiction at its root.
Addiction is a threefold illness — mind, body, and soul — and unless all three levels are acknowledged, the cycle continues. That’s why supportive tools like therapy, exercise, or creative outlets can help but won’t fully heal on their own.
In this episode, you’ll hear:
Why therapy, exercise, and even accountability “teams” can support — but not cure — addiction
The surprising research on AA/12-Step facilitation vs. other therapies (including long-term outcomes)
Carl Jung, William James, and their profound influence on AA’s spiritual foundation
How hypnosis can help access the same brain states linked to spiritual experience — offering a science-backed bridge to recovery (not a replacement)
Why cross-addiction is so insidious, and what it reveals about the need for a deeper spiritual solution
Powerful new research showing how dance outperforms even SSRIs for depression — and what that means for recovery supports
~ If you’ve ever wondered why so many approaches don’t stick, this episode cuts through the noise. It blends research, spiritual insight, and lived experience to show why real recovery requires more than surface solutions.
~ Tune in and share this with someone who needs clarity, compassion, and hope on the recovery journey.
