Addiction is a huge problem in our culture.  People are addicted to the Internet, TV, alcohol, sex, shopping, gambling, food, dieting, exercise, gossiping, drama, and drugs… to name a few.  There’s usually something that you turn to when life gets too stressful and you need some relief.  But these addictions aren’t the actual problems.

Roy Nelson and I explore the underlying problems that lead to addictions in the first place and the REAL secrets to overcoming them for good.  Over thirty-five years ago Roy “cracked the code” of his own addictive personality. As a result, he lost 120 pounds and overcame a myriad of addictions, as well as depression, panic attacks, and fears.

In this episode, Roy reveals why “the problem is never the problem” and what that means for YOU, the spiritual solution that has enabled Roy and his clients to overcome addiction, the one thing you MUST do to start discovering the root causes of your pain, and so much more.  And of course, Roy reveals what he’s really hungry for.

Listen to this episode to discover the steps, tools, and beliefs that YOU need to start letting go of your addictions and start discovering what the REAL problem is.
