In this concise 60‑second monologue, Dallas Bragg shares his personal journey through addiction recovery, describing how attempts to quit substances and attend meetings led to a repetitive relapse cycle. He realized he was "addicted to recovery," seeking validation through 12‑step groups and publicly posting his sober time, yet these external sources failed to fill an inner void. Through meditation, he uncovered a childhood lack of unconditional acceptance and learned that true healing requires giving that acceptance to himself. He concludes by inviting viewers to comment or direct‑message him for a free guided meditation to begin the process.

Here's the key to addiction recovery in 60 seconds. I tried quitting the substance and attending meetings, and I found myself stuck in a cycle of relapse. Without having the drugs to numb the belief that I'm not good enough, I tried so hard to find other ways to numb it. I even became addicted to recovery. I found my acceptance in 12-step groups and by posting my sober time online. But eventually, those people and those behaviors weren't enough. And when we have a void inside, anything external to us will never be enough. I discovered through meditation what it was I didn't receive as a boy, and that was unconditional acceptance. And no one or no thing will ever give that to me. I had to give it to myself. Comment or DM meditate, and I'll send you a free guided meditation to get the process started.
