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

98: Why Addicted Men Lose Control and The One Skill That Restores It

Jason

If willpower worked, you’d already be free.
So why do men keep ending up right back in the same cycle?

Most men believe they’re “out of control.”
That belief doesn’t come from weakness—it comes from misunderstanding how the body and discipline actually work.

In this episode, Jason Lyle explains why white-knuckling fails and what actually restores control.

In this episode, you’ll learn:

  • Feeling out of control is a belief, not a fact
  • Beliefs change through repeated actions, not motivation
  • Discipline trains the skill that gives men control back

Click play if you’re ready to stop white-knuckling and start rebuilding real control.
