In this episode of the In Search of More podcast, host Eli Nash and guest Moishe Goldstein dive into the complexities of addiction, recovery, and self-discovery. Moishe shares his candid journey through gambling addiction, recounting how it resurfaced during the pandemic despite a previous period of sobriety. He emphasizes the critical role of community support, especially during vulnerable times, and reflects on the emotional impact of trauma and grief. The discussion also explores disillusionment with personal beliefs and authority figures, shedding light on the challenging process of self-acceptance and finding balance between admiration and criticism for influential figures in one's life. The episode examines the integration of traditional recovery tools, like 12-step programs, with alternative methods such as plant medicine. Moishie discusses the challenges of aligning structured recovery approaches with personal empowerment, cautioning against relying solely on substances as solutions. He reflects on evolving identity, shifting from viewing himself as an addict to embracing conscious choice and empowerment in his recovery journey. The conversation ultimately underscores the importance of community, shared experiences, and a holistic approach to healing, combining traditional and innovative methods to foster growth and resilience. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Connect with Eli Website | https://bit.ly/eliyahunash Instagram | https://bit.ly/eliyahu_nash Facebook | http://bit.ly/3h3rFSr YouTube | https://youtube.com/@insearchofmore ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Subscribe to the In Search of More Podcast: www.youtube.com/@InSearchOfMore?sub_confirmation=1 For booking inquiries, email: booking@insearchofmorepodcast.com Join Our WhatsApp: https://wa.me/message/PBH5QDJQNQ5LJ1 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Follow us on social media Facebook | http://bit.ly/3jr9eYT Instagram | http://bit.ly/3JsvU5I TikTok | http://bit.ly/3XZ60Lo Twitter | http://bit.ly/3XNgxsR
