Today on Living Big Mindfully we are exploring addiction with sober mindset master James Mcilwain…
Here in the US September is recovery month… addiction effects millions of people and families throughout the world! With the intention of honoring anyone who is personally or has a loved one struggling with addiction… this episode is dedicated to you!
You know, addiction has, and still effects my life in many ways – I guess that’s why I am so passionate about the subject.
…James caught my attention because he has a different twist on things and I was curious…
Of course, like most people who have spent years in active addiction, James has quite a story – so we begin with a bit about his personal journey.
Then we dive in. You’ll learn about:
The power of mindset
The role of choice
And, the importance of dealing with – and letting go of the past.
James shares his 6 tips and strategies for getting and staying sober.
Then we chat about:
Triggers
Craving plans
How to help a loved one…
Kindness
And, how to find joy again….
This conversation is bursting with powerful sage advice…
And, it doesn’t stop there! The show notes are packed with links to books, podcasts, and James’ favorite mindset mentors.
James & I hope that this empowering, no BS conversation – somehow - through the magic of the airwaves – reaches the exact people it needs to reach at just the right time.
As James likes to say, “stay sober, stay strong, be kind!”
