To cope with our painful feelings and life traumas, we search for quick &#8220;fixes&#8221; that eventually become habitual, self-destructive behaviors that ultimately create more problems than they solve.<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> As a person in recovery from drug and alcohol addiction, Ian is no stranger to these destructive habits. It wasn&#8217;t until he embraced the Twelve Steps that he found true freedom. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> He knows from personal experience that Twelve Step recovery is more than just a life-saving strategy for guiding substance users into sobriety.&nbsp;<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> Everybody&nbsp;is addicted to something to numb the discomfort of living in a messed-up world, he says, but the good news is that if you committedly &#8220;work the steps,&#8221; you will eventually have a vital spiritual awakening that will give you an entirely new and radically beautiful orientation toward the life God has for you.<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> I hope you’ll click the play button below to learn more about&nbsp;Ian and his new book.<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> Join in on&nbsp;our chat&nbsp;below<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> Subscribe:&nbsp;<a href="https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/read-to-lead-podcast-pat-flynn/id673883284?mt=2&amp;ls=1" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener" title="Apple Podcasts">Apple Podcasts</a>&nbsp;|&nbsp;<a href="https://open.spotify.com/show/7FIptxFoi4iydngmj9Gvk2" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener" title="Spotify">Spotify</a>&nbsp;|&nbsp;<a href="https://readtoleadpodcast.com/feed/podcast" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">RSS</a><br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> In today&#8217;s episode, I ask Ian about:<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> * Why admitting defeat is a &#8216;liberating acknowledgement of reality&#8217;<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> * How surrender can be an&nbsp;empowering&nbsp;act for us rather than a&nbsp;disempowering&nbsp;one<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> * The power of admitting your wrongs to another person, and how tatt vulnerability contributes to your healing<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> * And lots more!<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> Order Ian&#8217;s Book<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> You can order your copy of <a href="https://amzn.to/43NbSwn" target="_blank" rel="noopener" title="The Fix">The Fix: How the Twelve Steps Offer a Surprising Path of Transformation for the Well-Adjusted, the Down-and-Out, and Everyone In Between</a> right now!<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> Consider Ordering My Book Too! <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> Purchase a copy of my new book (written with Jesse Wisnewski) <a href="http://readtoleadbook.com" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener" title="Read to Lead the book">Read to Lead: The Simple Habit That Expands Your Influence and Boosts Your Career</a>.
