My name is Brendon Watt, I will be your host. I am an alcoholic & an addict, when I’m recording this I’ve been sober for almost 3 years. On this podcast I will use the Access Consciousness®️ tools & also have raw, vulnerable conversations with some amazing guests.In the beginning of my journey of sobriety I could only see & judge my addiction as a weakness. It has not been an easy path to walk on since then but with the help of these amazing tools I can today acknowledge addiction to be one of my greatest strengths.*Alcohol was my backdoor, my escape, my way out whenever life got too intense. And the thought of having no alcohol at all in my life terrified me. I really desired to change it, I just didn’t think I could. I couldn’t see how I could get through it. I wanted to be done with it, I wanted to be healed from addiction & go back to being a nice guy that everybody likes. But what I learned in the process was that it’s not about being “done”, it’s about allowing your life to be an on-going process of healing. What if there was no finish line?In my exploration I have had many dark days. Days filled with anxiety, panic, depression, even suicidal thoughts. This journey can be an intense roller coaster and I hope this podcast can be a resource for you for support, new perspectives & tools to use to have more ease & kindness in your life.In this podcast I, together with my guests, will dive deeper into topics such as;•⁠  ⁠Presence•⁠  ⁠Exploring the gifts that are hidden behind everything•⁠  ⁠Acknowledging the value of YOU•⁠  ⁠Forgiveness•⁠  ⁠Getting over self-hatred•⁠  ⁠Moving beyond shame •⁠  ⁠Living from integrity •⁠  ⁠AllowanceRESOURCES & LINKSwww.brendonwatt.comwww.accessconsciousness.com","thumbnail_url":"https://img.transistorcdn.com/91tvAOGegaBANBRQRdvSYxR8si6aG_NgZykTQKslmGU/rs:fill:0:0:1/w:400/h:400/q:60/mb:500000/aHR0cHM6Ly9pbWct/dXBsb2FkLXByb2R1/Y3Rpb24udHJhbnNp/c3Rvci5mbS8wYzUy/MDkyYmYzNjYyM2Vj/NzYzOWNkZTdlOTY1/YjRlYy5qcGc.webp","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300}
