Dr. Berger and Herb K. will discuss a solution not only to addiction but for dealing with our human condition – unmanageability. Carl Jung had suggested “The Spirit is the antidote to spirits” = optimal living and personal happiness. Bill Wilson states in the Big Book “…our way of living has its advantages for All.” This workshop will be a deep dive into the application of tools for optimal living.
We will discuss emotional balance, a purposeful life, and personal fulfillment.” Honestly ask yourself: Are you unhappy, bored, irritable, discontent, depressed, stuck?; Do you find yourself repeating self-defeating patterns of negative thinking, feelings, and behavior?; Are you frustrated by your ineffective efforts at attaining and sustaining contentment? Through this workshop you will experience a process for: Identifying the primary obstacles to a healthy relationship with yourself; Taking responsibility for producing a positive attitude and taking effective actions; Fostering your personal growth toward a sense of meaning, value, purpose and joy …a personal life that really FLOURISHES!
