I was never addicted to sex or approval or achievement. I was addicted to the feeling of being worth something. That is what the addiction was always trying to give me.

Addiction is not a behavior problem — it is a worth problem wearing a behavior costume. The behavior will never stop until the worth problem underneath it is addressed. Self love is the daily decision that interrupts the cycle.

In this episode you will learn:
Why addiction is not a behavior problem but a worth problem wearing a behavior costume
Why the behavior will never stop until the worth problem underneath it is addressed
Why self love is not a feeling you fall into but a daily decision that interrupts the addiction cycle

Click play now if you have been trying to stop the behavior without addressing what is driving it.

The podcast explores the connection between men and dads seeking freedom from addiction, pornography, infidelity, and drinking, while confronting anger, anxiety, and depression through prayer, meditation, and mindfulness, leaning on Jesus and God for strength, confronting pride, discovering purpose, practicing cold plunges, and ultimately building resilience along the journey.
