0:00.0	This is episode 1,759.
0:05.2	Welcome to the Daily Meditation podcast.
0:09.9	I'm Mary Meckley and I'm honored you are here as you get ready to give yourself
0:17.4	permission to slow down.
0:24.6	How are you doing today? If you've been following along with this week's meditation series,
0:30.6	congratulations to you because this is the final episode of this seven-part series to manage addiction.
0:44.3	It's such an important topic and it's important to keep the conversation going around addiction.
0:57.2	Whether or not you yourself may be addicted to a harmful substance or a loved one is addicted.
