S2E42: “Maybe the opposite of addiction isn't perfection. Maybe it's presence.”

“How many times can you call something an exception before you admit it's the pattern?”

What happens when you genuinely want to change - but keep choosing the very thing you said you don't want anymore?

In this deeply personal episode of the Coming Home to You Sparkcast, Margarita Rose explores her relationship with alcohol, addiction, self-abandonment, people-pleasing, belonging and the uncomfortable gap between knowing what we want and actually practicing it.

This isn't a conversation about shame or getting recovery “perfect.” It's an inquiry into what lives beneath the behavior: What am I hoping the drink will do for me? What need am I trying to meet? Do I belong to myself? And can my word to myself begin to mean something again?

You'll also learn The Honesty Check, a simple Coming Home practice for naming the story, uncovering the need, recognizing the cost and making one Better-Than choice - without demanding forever from yourself. Maybe the question isn't, Do I love myself enough to change?

Maybe it's:

Can I love myself while I learn how to change?
