Welcome to what drives you. I'm Kevin Miller. In this episode, Are We Addicted? And how do you know?

I've often heard addiction debated as to what really defines it. When do you tip over into that?

So I actually typed it into a search engine just now. How do you define addiction? And this is what it showed.

Addiction is when you have a strong physical or psychological need or urge to do something or use something. It is a dependence on a

substance or activity, even if you know that it causes you harm. It can impact your daily life.

Now, I don't want to be flippant here with this topic,

but really from that definition, I'd say all of us are on the spectrum of addiction. I don't look at

it as you're addicted or you're not, like black and white. But how addicted to our vices are we?

And I think about this often as i really really like liking what i like and there's some things that i think i'm i think i probably am addicted i'm okay i love loving my

pleasures but i've also concerned myself with going too far to where there is negative consequences.

So let's, I'll get a little candid here with myself on some of this and follow in the footsteps of my guest in the previous episode, Ian Morgan Cron, as he shared about his ongoing struggles in his new book, The Fix, how the 12 steps offer a surprising path of

transformation for the well-adjusted, the down and out, and everyone in between. And you can also

find him at his really popular podcast typology. When I'm not having these conversations about

human potential, I am working directly with people on their human potential, often on

figuring out what it is they want and what do they want to do next. You can connect with me at
