Overcoming Numbing pain & Addiction with Elijah Runyan(115)


Listen Later

Elijah Runyan joins the Connection Codes team to share his journey from numbing pain with alcohol to finding genuine emotional connection.

Elijah opens up about the deep-seated shame, guilt, and loneliness that fueled his coping mechanisms, making him realize the significant impact of facing and processing pain rather than masking it. Through these discussions on the subtle yet impactful ways we all avoid discomfort—whether through alcohol, social media, or other distractions—this episode uncovers the true path to long-term joy and meaningful relationships.

Learn how vulnerability and curiosity can lead to real healing and connection in everyday life.
