A Holistic Approach to Addiction and Sobriety - Dr. Dana Leigh Lyons

Which of your angels is teaching you the most? Have you ever heard the expression, ‘Follow the guidance of your better angels.’ I love that affirmation of clarity and self-trust. I am also reminded of those childhood cartoons with a character who has an angel and a devil on each shoulder trying to convince them to do something ‘good or bad.' What does any of that have to do with your day? Well, after almost 2 months of self-isolation, quarantine, or whatever this has been like for you, you are probably getting familiar with the proverbial angel and devil on your shoulders. If you look at ‘pandemic’  life through the lens of Social media, most people are living in their pyjamas, eating more than usual, binge-watching tv shows and trying to stay busy or distracted – or both. Some of us are craving attention and contact while others are hiding in the laundry room for a moment of personal space. I hope you are finding your balance in all of that. I hope you are learning to appreciate your angels and demons.     Given the challenges that most people are facing, we decided to do a podcast on sobriety. I would like to introduce you to Dr, Dana Leigh Lyons. One of the smartest and most authentic people I know. In this unexpected episode of FHR, Anthony Sanna and I get to chat with Dana about her experience with addiction and how she has become a respected sobriety expert. If you are looking for some inspiration and guidance, or just some honest human truth about living through challenging experiences, please check out this insightful conversation. Dana offers some great online support. This link takes you to her sobriety kit and recovery journal.  Enjoy!
