Interviewed by Roxanne Noor on 'The Naked Life' Podcast
An in-depth interview about the addiction recovery journey that I have been on since July 2019. Topics include self-forgiveness, trust and faith.
A few weeks back, in a quaint cafe in Da Nang, I met Roxanne Noor, a supremely talented creative, and all-round beautiful human being from New York. She was holidaying in the area. We struck up an immediate rapport. When she asked me to be a guest on her Podcast 'The Naked Life,' I immediately, much to my surprise, said yes.
I am grateful to her for this opportunity for she lit a fire in my soul.

Forgiveness is a Gift You Give Yourself
Introduction to A Lust For Sober Life by MrTheraPOD
This episode is the third in a trilogy of episodes about a very funny incident a few weeks back when my cat BATMAN took a huge dump on my bed at 5AM, We will be using this 'SHituation' in this episode to share some musings on the topic of 'Forgiveness'.
Forgiveness (including self-forgiveness)
Joel Lewin....He's no choir boy, he's not the messiah, in fact he used to be a very naught boy!
Isabel Allende is a Chilean Writer who went through the experience of losing her 12 year old daughter in 1992 due to malpractice and negligence in a Madrid hospital. Her words on forgiveness are very powerful.
Gandhi: "The weak can never forgive. Forgiveness is the attribute of the strong".
Forgiveness is a Gift you Give Yourself
Towards the end we will also hear what Richard Moore had to say about 'Forgiveness'. He was speaking on another brilliant episode of 'An Irishman Abroad' podcast with Jarlath Regan.
Reflection Meditation (Hafez Poem)
We will finish with a micro-reflection where I will ask you to close your eyes for a few minutes and contemplate what it is that is holding you back from embracing forgiveness in your life.
Yom Kippur (Day of Atonement)
David Simon’s Book Free to Love, Free to Heal
Equanimity
Equanimity does not mean giving up; it is more a quality of giving in.
Addiction is an Equal Opportunities Destroyer
It doesn’t give a damn about your age, sex, race, religion, creed, sexual orientation or even hair color or lack of perhaps....

Lying to YOURSELF: An amusing anecdote from my time at Hope Rehab inspired by Dostoevsky
“Above all, don't lie to yourself. The man who lies to himself and listens to his own lie comes to a point that he cannot distinguish the truth within him, or around him, and so loses all respect for himself and for others. And having no respect he ceases to love.”
The Karamazov Brother by Fyodor Dostoevsky
