Why Are You Still Carrying Her? | Learning When to Let Go
Episode Description
In this episode, I read a personal reflection inspired by a night at a place that no longer exists—the historic Dark Horse Saloon in Boulder, Colorado.
What started as a simple night out turned into something deeper… a lesson about the mind, desire, and what we choose to carry long after the moment has passed.
Through an old parable—The Two Monks and the Woman—this episode explores a truth that hits at the core of recovery, identity, and integrity:
You can follow every rule… and still be the one carrying the weight.
This is a reflection on letting go—not just physically, but mentally. Not just behaviorally, but internally.
If you’ve ever struggled with intrusive thoughts, temptation, or the feeling of being stuck in your own mind…this episode is for you.
