Casey Crespo jumps on the podcast to talk about her new book titled: Go to the Desert-Healing from Alcohol, A Spiritual Perspective.

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0FHHFPR1Z?ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_fed_asin_title

This book is for those who feel like outcasts in both the sober world and the spiritual world.
This book doesn’t preach sobriety— it’s about harm reduction. It’s about waking up and seeing through the bullshit we’ve been sold since childhood that drinking is normal, glamorous, and the solution to every human emotion.
Equal parts hot mess and higher self, this book brings you a mix of personal misadventures, questionable decisions, spiritual light bulb moments, and actually useful coping tools. This book dives deep into the spiritual effects of alcohol, the craving mind, and how to reconnect with your higher self without numbing out.
You’ll learn how alcohol hijacks your spiritual connection, dulls your emotional intelligence, and keeps you stuck on autopilot. More importantly, you’ll get real-world tools to break free— from journal prompts to energetic hygiene practices, and suggestions on how to navigate a new life, and align with our true purpose and authenticity. It’s a brutally honest look at what it actually feels like to build a life you no longer want to escape from.
This isn't a self-help book wrapped in fake positivity. This is survival. This is rebirth. This is your call to f*cking remember who you are. Your higher self has been waiting.

Many believe inpatient rehab is the best path for drug or alcohol addiction recovery, yet studies show that 40-60% of individuals relapse within the first year of treatment. This underscores the complexity of addiction and the importance of the recovery phase, which often begins after initial treatment.

Laserquit’s addiction programs offer a comprehensive approach that address both initial and recovery phases. We’ve helped thousands of individuals on their journey to recovery with our unique, cost-effective approach.

Randy joins David on the podcast to discuss his journey in recovery and how multiple pathways have given his life new direction and purpose. We discuss Smart Recovery, Recovery Dharma, meditation and many other experiences in our recovery. We discuss his experience with Guillain-Bare Syndrome as it pertains to his life and what it was like.

Thanks Randy!
