A New Way of Being

Feeling Not Thinking: Tony Adams on Addiction and Healing


Listen Later

Ex England and Arsenal footballer Tony Adams strips back the layers of addiction, revealing how we're feeling beings trapped in a thinking world.

From his own struggles with alcohol to founding Sporting Chance, Tony explores why we run from emotions and how recovery means learning to feel again.

He unpacks the ego, explains why addiction isn't about the substance but escaping uncomfortable feelings, and shares hard-won wisdom about moving from the head to the heart. He discusses how we can nurture our inner child, accept our emotions without judgment, and find a path to healing.

I am away on holiday and taking a break so rereleasing this conversation from my back catalogue. I chose this episode because avoiding our feelings is so commonplace - through substances, activities, distractions and even overthinking.

If you want to explore how to transcend the voice in the head and align with your feelings and intuition to get in flow, book a free inner consultation:
