Summary

Are you unknowingly addicted to relief? The truth about addiction, emotional numbing, and why real healing requires more than just self-control. This week on Win Today, Ian Cron exposes the truth about addiction, pain, and why we're all hooked on something. Whether it's work, achievement, relationships, control, or substances, we all have our own ways of numbing discomfort. But here's the real question: Is relief keeping you from real change?

  • Are we all addicts? The hidden ways we self-medicate pain
  • Pain relief vs. transformation: Why numbing doesn't work
  • How the Twelve Steps can lead to lasting freedom—even if you're not an addict
  • Why addiction is a spiritual crisis—and how to find true healing

For over eight decades, the Twelve Steps have led millions out of addiction—not just from substances, but from self-sabotaging behaviors that keep us stuck. As someone who has walked the road of recovery firsthand, Ian knows that the real breakthrough isn't just in quitting bad habits—it's in having a spiritual awakening that radically reorients your life.

If you've ever felt like you're stuck in cycles of unhealthy coping, or if you long for real joy beyond self-help quick fixes, this episode is for you.

Listen now and take the first step toward real transformation.
