in this episode of My Sober Addiction, we take a tiny peek into Hermeticism and how the Principles of Polarity and Rhythm apply to our lives, particularly to addiction and sobriety. Even when we are living sober, addiction always seems to still pop in and say hello from time to time through temptation to relapse. The opposite was true, also. When we were in active addiction, sobriety always seemed to want to say hello occasionally, too, when we really felt that burning desire to get sober. The pendulum does swing back and forth from addiction to sobriety, and it will do so regardless of which end of it we are on. What’s dangerous is when we are not aware of this fact and we then ride along with it.
In the Kybalion, it teaches the Law of Neutralization. This is when we become aware of the fact that the two polar opposites do flow back and forth in a rhythm, addiction and sobriety. Once we are aware of this, though, we can rise above it and not go back and forth with it. We can simply acknowledge that it is there, that sometimes we are more tempted than other times, and let it go. We do not have to ride that roller coaster any longer. It’s still there, yes, but now we, from above it all, can simply observe it and not participate in it.

In this episode of My Sober Addiction, we are continuing with getting back to talking about addiction and recovery. The YouTube channel is where the metaphysical stuff will be from now on. Here, we are returning to talking about addiction, recovery, relapse prevention and moving on into our lives sober, happy and healthy, wealthy and free.
During the holiday season (November and December) it is an excellent time for us to reflect back on our time in active addition and realize how far we’ve come. It really puts things into perspective. Remembering how life was back then when we couldn’t afford to buy gifts, or travel out of town to visit family, or anything that pulled us away from the 24/7 hustle that supplied our dope habits. Isn’t it nice that we do not have to live that way any more? Isn’t it nice that we can buy gifts and go out of town and spend time with family and just everything that goes with the holiday season that we weren’t able to do when we were still in active addiction? Recovery sounds even better when you look at it that way! Go on a little walk down Memory Lane with me in this episode and let’s be so very grateful for sobriety and all that it has done for us. Much love and respect!

Surprise! Ol’ Matty is back to focusing on addiction in the audio podcast. The YouTube channel has freed me up so that all my interests in metaphysical topics can be discussed there. This makes it so that My Sober Addiction can return to being primarily about addiction, sobriety and sober living. Don’t get it twisted, though, I’m still who I am and I will still go off the deep end into the metaphysical woo woo stuff about the Nature of Reality, Consciousness, Spirituality and Reality Creation and all that.
In this episode of My Sober Addiction, we explore the possibility of parallel/ alternate realities and how things could have or would have been if you had gotten sober sooner, or maybe if you had never used drugs in the first place. If you could “quantum jump” into a different version of yourself and had never fallen into the throes of addiction, would you? The easy answer is yes but then what would that mean exactly?
Quote by Deepak Chopra, “For every choice we make, there is another possible choice that leads to a different version of ourselves.”
