In this episode of The Freeology Podcast, Jason Lyle flips the script on how men view relapse in their journey to sobriety. He suggests that relapse is less about addiction and more about the stories we tell ourselves.

Instead, he posits that it can be a spiritual wake-up call, urging listeners to examine their core beliefs. Jason dives into the power of belief and how it shapes our actions. He shares anecdotes from his past, highlighting how negative self-talk can perpetuate harmful behaviours. Through personal stories and a touch of theology, he explores how shifting one's mindset can lead to profound changes in behaviour. This episode isn't just about identifying problems; it's about offering solutions.
Jason encourages listeners to start small, with daily actions that reinforce positive beliefs. Whether it's an ice bath at dawn or a moment of reflection, these rituals can transform one's self-image over time. By embracing repetition and consistency, listeners can break free from destructive cycles and build a life of integrity and honour. Curious about how changing your beliefs can change your life?
