Understanding the Six Human Needs in Addiction Recovery
“If you just quit using and you still go home and sit on your couch in your underwear and eat donuts and watch the simpsons, nothing about your life has changed except you've taken away the alcohol and drugs.”
Ever wondered why certain habits stick, even when they’re harmful? In this episode of 'From Sobriety to Recovery', Jesse Mogle unpacks the six human needs defined by Tony Robbins and how they relate to addiction. These needs—certainty, variety, significance, love/connection, growth, and contribution—are universal. Jesse explains that when these needs are met through unhealthy means, like addiction, it can be hard to break free. But there’s hope.
By redirecting these needs towards positive habits, you can build a fulfilling life in recovery. Jesse shares his own journey and offers practical tips for making this shift. Whether you’re in recovery or supporting someone who is, this episode provides valuable insights into the psychology of addiction and the path to a healthier life.
