Addiction is a thinking problem. If it was just a 'drug' problem, once you stop using it, wouldn't it be just fine? NO, you have to keep treating it, the way you think. When you stop using, that's when the game begins.
Addiction isn't just about stopping the use of substances—it's about changing the way you think. In this gripping episode of 'The Truth About Addiction', Lyle opens up about his turbulent journey through addiction and the long road to recovery. From his early days of alcohol abuse in his 20s to multiple stints in jail, Lyle's life was a chaotic spiral until he decided that getting clean was the only way out.
But as he soon discovered, sobriety was just the first step. Lyle emphasizes that addiction is a thinking problem. It's not enough to simply stop using; you have to continuously work on your mindset. He shares how spirituality became a cornerstone of his recovery. By diving into religious texts like the Bible and the Koran, Lyle found wisdom and solace that helped him reshape his thoughts and actions.
His spiritual journey even led him to get a tattoo of the Jesus Christ Crucifixion on his back, marking a significant revelation in his life. Lyle's story is not just about overcoming addiction; it's about transformation and finding hope in unexpected places. He stresses the importance of keeping an open mind and being aware of the people around you. His journey underscores that with the right mindset and support, anyone can overcome addiction and lead a fulfilling life.
This episode is a must-listen for anyone grappling with addiction or supporting someone who is. It's a raw, honest look at the challenges and triumphs that come with treating addiction from the inside out. Join Lyle as he shares his powerful story of recovery, spirituality, and the ongoing battle to change the way he thinks.
