Key Takeaways:
• Recognizing addiction often involves observing changes in frequency and control over the use of substances, as well as the impact on daily life and relationships.
• A five-point plan to recovery, analogous to the five fingers on a hand, includes spiritual guidance, counselling, lifestyle changes, transparent relationships, and a supportive community.
• Monsignor Shora underscores the need for comprehensive strategies, comparing the approach to managing chronic conditions like diabetes.
• Eddie Reaiche emphasizes the importance of the therapeutic relationship and educational components like understanding dopamine’s role in addiction.
• Finding Sanctuary advocates for a hope-infused, non-judgmental, and trust-building process towards recovery, with spiritual support being a vital component.
Notable Quotes:
• Monsignor Shora: “What’s your five-point plan? …for a hand to hold something solid and to be, you need all five fingers. So you need a good, solid plan…”
• Eddie Reaiche: “…the beauty of this is the brain can heal itself, but we need to give it a chance.”
• Debbie Draybi: “So being able to seek help from professionals… these are evidence-based, they work…”
• Monsignor Shora: “…just wanting to move forward and find the fullness of life, to live a fuller life and to be free from that which chains you and holds you back.”
• Eddie Reaiche: “The two most important things is we’ve all got it in us. We just have to believe in ourselves.”
