If you want to see change, you need to focus. No more running, or hiding or avoidance. Today we’re going to talk about the importance of focus and how it can lead to real change. In order to understand why you may have developed your addiction we need to understand what you were running away from in the first place, that’s always been my way of doing things. In todays episode I explain why we find ourselves avoiding problems and how we can begin to change that behavior.

Todays episode is extra special because I’m bringing on my first guest and fellow podcaster, Dave from The Dopey Podcast. Dave recently lost his longtime friend, and Dopey co-host, to an overdose. We discuss what it means to open up the conversation around addiction, failure, abstinence and more. It’s an extremely powerful episode and you’re not going to want to miss it.

This week we’re discussing a subject thats very near and dear to my heart. If you’ve listened to any of the IGNTD Relationships episodes or are familiar with my story at all, you’d know my relationship with my wife hasn’t always been what it is now. In fact, it’s safe to say we hit rock bottom pretty early on. Well I’m here to tell you, there IS a way to repair relationships, even when you think they might be past the point of no return. So, if you wan’t to become your best self, and win back those you love along the way, you’re going to want to listen in on this one!

Have you ever heard the saying “once an addict always an addict”? Yeah well, me too. It was something I was constantly being told when I first began my own recovery journey and it honestly made the whole thing even more daunting- as if it wasn’t already the hardest thing I’d ever had to do. In todays episode I explain why this statement is just a myth, and how you DON’T have to struggle forever. I can’t wait for you to listen!

In todays episode I share with you a very important secret…. beating addiction DOES NOT equal quitting. I know, sounds crazy right? Well I’ve used this method with all of my clients and have seen amazing results that weren’t being achieved with more traditional approaches. I go into depth and share all my secrets in this one, so you’re not going to want to miss out!

Today, I’m bringing you something different. We’ll be adding an second episode each week to the IGNTD podcast where we’ll dive deeper into my work and discuss recovery (alcohol, food, drugs, sex, gambling and more… this will be fun!). Tune in every Friday and join me as I walk you through my journey, tell my personal stories and explore the IGNTD Recovery method that’s helped hundreds of people so far. Are you ready to become and IGNTD Hero?
