Summary

Today I'm having an on-air counseling session with Ian Cron. You may have heard of him from his popular enneagram-focused podcast, but today you'll get to know him in a new way. In our conversation, today, we unpack his past history with alcoholism, what led him to that destructive place, as well as his journey to the point of relapse and then ultimate recovery. We also discuss where he is today, and what he's doing to stay healthy and free from the grip of alcohol in his life. It's a conversation filled with incredible insight and hard-fought wisdom. If you or someone you know has ever struggled with substance use, abuse, or addiction- this conversation is such a powerful, eye-opening conversation.

0:06.2	This is actually just a gospel paradox, right?
0:09.1	When you reach a point in your life, when you can look at yourself in the mirror and say,
0:13.2	I am out of ammo.
0:15.4	I am run out of my best old ideas about how. About how to solve this.
0:29.8	And I'm moving toward this belief and action of surrendering my life to God because that's the only solution I have left.
0:31.6	When you do that, this other power comes in and you suddenly find that someone else is doing for you what you could
