Today my guest is Flindt Andersen. He is the President and Founder of a Non-Profit called PAIN, Parents and Addicts In Need based out of Fresno, CA. Flindt shares his story of long term addiction to opiates, his moment of clarity experience and his 21 year journey through sobriety. We talked about where he believes his shame came from, how he learned to heal it, and the work he does to help parents and addicts heal and recover. Flindt’s honesty and desire to help others left me with a feeling of hope and encouragement that we can all use our pain to make a difference to those who need it most. So with that, please enjoy this episode with Flindt.   Connect with Flindt Andersen Here: Visit Website: gotpainusa.org Follow on Instagram @gotpainusa   Watch on YouTube: ​​https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCNuRolkOZ7X8fCEFCDYd5tg     Lightning Round Answers:  Book recommendation: No book, but music helped him. Artists like Steven Curtis Chapman and classical music helped him to stay hopeful and encouraged. Favorite Idea he lives by: I’ve already been to hell, what is anyone going to do to me now? Self Care Practice: Meditation, music, quiet mornings. Also golfing with friends 2x per week. Helps him not to worry and be present. Spiritual Experience: In a simple ordinary moment sitting at a traffic light he heard a small still voice from within saying “When are you going to listen to me?” and “people are in your life for a reason” Subscribe So You Don’t Miss New Episodes!   Listen On:   https://apple.co/30g6ALF   https://odaatchat.libsyn.com/spotify   https://bit.ly/3n0taNQ     Watch Full Episodes!   https://bit.ly/2UpR5Lo
