Episode 274 is about getting over your addiction.

Some addictive behaviors are harmless, but for the most part they're destructive. How can you break free from these patterns? Rob Lohman, previously an alcoholic and now turned to a great coach on addiction, deals with this topic. He explains this in his upcoming book Addiction Intervention.

Did you know that addiction is hereditary? Epigenetics has everything to do with it. Just because you feel there's something wrong with you, doesn't mean there actually is! What really matters most, though, is how we respond to our addictions; how they are transformed within us.

Do you want to overcome addiction? Our Men on Purpose community can help you with how to break these patterns. Follow us on this journey at https://ianlobas.com/podcast/
