Are You A Fakir?

Busting Addiction and Its Myths

This podcast is about a genuine recovery and not a fake one.

We learn that:

1. If we do not surrender to a teaching, do not completely give ourselves “to this simple program” we’re likely to not get any of the major benefits that we ourselves seek.
2. We are all lazy to some extent in that we want to go through the motions and fear going deeper. It’s the fear that blocks us from personal growth.
3. We who have an “addict in the house”, a person whom we love dearly, discover in Al-Anon or in some other way that we are as powerless over addiction and as sick as is the addict himself.
4. We must ask ourselves if we want something for nothing, or if we are willing to make the necessary sacrifices in order to become free and grow as humans.
5. The essence of the art of life, it is taught, is the acquired ability to live in the present moment where the ego and the fears it generates disappear.
