Ep #3 - The Six Human Needs are foundational for everyone alive. In Addiction Recovery understanding how the six human needs lead you into addiction will drastically benefit you as you move through sobriety and into recovery. Here are the six human needs as defined by Tony Robbins:

1. Certainty

2. Uncertainty/Variety

3. Significance

4. Love/Connection

5. Growth

6. Contribution

If an activity, person, job, hobby, or anything else you think of can cover at least three of these then you are very likely to continue pursuing that activity or person. If all six can be covered then it can easily become something you seek to do every day - whether it be in a habitual form or an outright addiction.

Habits are not all bad. In fact, they are neither good nor bad. What gives you the impression they are one or the other is the outcome they lead you toward.

Being on your phone a lot isn't necessarily a bad habit if you are getting things accomplished while using it. However, if you are constantly staring at it, ignoring people in social situations, scrolling through social media instead of getting real work done, etc. then being on your phone a lot is a bad habit because it is adversely affecting your actual life.  

Addiction is more complex than habitual behavior. Unlike a habit such as brushing your teeth, you have almost no control over your impulsive desire to repeatedly engage in an addiction. This is where serotonin and dopamine play their roles. While addictive substance abuse negatively affects your relationships, job, and self, you are unable to stop the behavior without drastic action. 

For me, finding areas in my life where I could meet my six human needs in a positive way, i.e. toward sobriety and recovery, was integral in getting myself on the right track and in the right frame of mind so I could succeed in my addiction recovery and not feel the impulse to relapse.

Once you listen to the show, comment on how you used the six human needs to slide into addiction and how you can use them to pull you out of addiction and toward a fruitful life in sobriety and recovery.

Just hit play and let's dive in with our open minds, hearts, and energies bringing everyone into the fold - you are in the right place, at the right time...right now.

It is time. It has been time. To live is to shine. Step into the SUN.

Stand up, step forward, raise your hand - it's your turn, I will call on you.
