Episode Details

In this podcast, Scott explains that addiction feels as essential as water or air because it helps the system feel safe and loved by keeping buried emotions hidden. The cycle of addiction continues because the need for safety and love stems from these suppressed emotions. Traditional recovery programs and Eastern practices often fail to address this, allowing both addiction and suffering to persist. Scott highlights that both the need for addiction and the desire to quit come from emotional repression. The solution is to dissolve this repression with patience and compassion.
