So many people are so completely misinformed and in some cases delusional about what can and can&rsquo;t be done about addiction recovery. In this podcast I hope to shed a bit of light on what the mental blocks are that we face as humans and how we can overcome them.<\/p>\n<h4>Plato and Recovery<\/h4>\n<p>People have been trying to do this for 1000&rsquo;s of years. Its not new. The best thing that we can do is to be <a href=\"https:\/\/ssdev.co.za\/crossroads-old\/contact\/\">responsible<\/a> and do the <a href=\"https:\/\/ssdev.co.za\/crossroads-old\/the-program\/\">research<\/a>. Find out what your faced with and what you can do about your addiction.<\/p>\n<p>This podcast was recorded as a series of lectures given to people in 12 step addiction recovery treatment. The purpose of these talks was to teach and motivate individuals to search for their own spiritual solution to their addiction.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Please feel free to contact me directly or go to our site for more information:<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"mailto:dominic@crrc.co.za\">dominic@crrc.co.za<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/ssdev.co.za\/crossroads-old\">www.crossroadsrecovery.co.za<\/a><\/p>\n<p>+27&nbsp;012&nbsp;345 1186 Pretoria<\/p>\n<p>+27&nbsp;010&nbsp;597 7784 Johannesburg<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>#6 The Iceman, Willpower and AddictionReach out now, we can helpHome \/ #6 The Iceman, Willpower and Addiction12 September, 2018Podcasts, News The Iceman, Willpower and Addiction What does the Iceman have to do with recovery or drug addiction &amp; alcoholism?
