National Recovery Month: Understanding Addiction and Healing
What does it truly mean to be in recovery?
In this first episode of In The Flow, a new series within Mind Sattva: Practical Wisdom for Modern Life, Dr. Mitika Kanabar reflects on the many ways recovery can take shape. As an addiction medicine physician, she shares her belief that recovery begins the day you decide to get help and reminds us that the path is unique for each person.
From a grounding moment with a Tibetan singing bowl to reflections on 12-step groups, SMART Recovery, faith-based programs, and the concept of recovery capital, Mitika highlights both practical approaches and the deeper dimensions of healing. This conversation also honors September as Recovery Month, a time to bring awareness, compassion, and hope to those touched by addiction or behavioral struggles.
✨ In this episode:
Mitika’s belief that recovery begins the day you decide to seek help
Different ways people approach recovery, from medical support to community groups
The SAMHSA definition of recovery and its four dimensions: health, home, purpose, and community
Reflections on behavioral addictions and the idea of “recovery capital”
A short practice with a Tibetan singing bowl for grounding and calm
Whether you are in recovery, supporting someone you love, or simply curious to understand it more deeply, this episode offers both perspective and encouragement.
