For some of us who struggle with addiction, we’re using our addiction to fill some type of hole we’re feeling. Today’s guest, Mark, was using his compulsive, addictive behaviors in an attempt to fill a “God-sized hole” in his life. He shares with us how recovery and finding his higher power has helped him fill that hole and soar beyond what he ever believed possible. This week’s episode 310 of the Fragmented to Whole Podcast is about Mark’s story: it’s hard to get off the ground when your wings are cut!


In this episode of the Fragmented to Whole Podcast, Mark shares his profound journey through various addictions and the transformative power the 12-step program had on his path to healing. 


Some of the talking points Mark I go over in this episode include:

  • Mark’s lifelong journey of using compulsive behaviors to fill a hole in his life.
  • Addiction is often a symptom of deeper emotional wounds. 
  • Spiritual growth involves right-sizing your life and practicing humility. 
  • Recovery is about letting go and unlearning things so we can thrive, not just survive.


Mark's journey demonstrates that no matter how dark your past, transformation is possible. If you're struggling with compulsive behaviors or feeling trapped, remember that hope exists. Take the first step by reaching out to a 12-step program or seeking support from professionals who understand your journey. Your path to healing and wholeness begins with a single, courageous decision to change.
