In this episode of the Father Built Podcast, I dive into the critical topic of addiction, particularly how it affects men. After apologizing for missing last week’s episode, I introduce our new partnership with Friend of Felix, a brand committed to supporting mental and physical well-being.
We discuss alarming statistics on addiction, including alcohol use disorder and the rising number of opioid overdose deaths among men. Addiction comes in many forms—alcohol, pornography, food, and technology—and we explore each of these, highlighting the importance of treating our bodies as temples, guided by the wisdom of 1 Corinthians 6:19-20.
I also share five essential tools to help combat addiction:
- Seek help
- Find the root cause
- Build community and accountability
- Develop healthy coping mechanisms
- Change your environment
Throughout the episode, I stress the significance of having supportive friends who can offer tough love and accountability. The road to recovery is challenging, but by acknowledging our struggles, taking that crucial first step, and committing to the hard work ahead, we can overcome addiction.
Join us in this heartfelt discussion and take the first step towards a healthier, more fulfilling life.
