Sacred Grit: Daily Tools and Spiritual Resilience for Men Determined to Beat Addiction

Why am I Addicted?: Why Addiction is a Substitute for Attachment and What Men Need to Know to Overcome it and Become Spiritually Resilient

Jason

Have you ever asked yourself why you’re addicted? Not just how you got hooked, but why the craving even exists?

I spent years stuck in behaviors I didn’t understand — chasing women, food, validation, anything that made me feel alive for five minutes. What I didn’t realize was that addiction isn’t about the drug, the drink, or the dopamine. It’s about connection. Addiction is the counterfeit version of attachment — a desperate attempt to fill the space where love and belonging should live. 

I this episode you will learn:

  • Addiction is an attempt at connection. It’s not your enemy — it’s your nervous system crying out for attachment.
  • Real connection begins with yourself. Recovery starts when you reconnect with your own body, emotions, and truth.
  • Help is always within reach. The same system that drives your addiction can be rewired toward healing, love, and peace.

Click play now, and learn how to reconnect and live the life you've always wanted.
