We are all addicts. Every single one of us is addicted. And it's not to our phone, alcohol, food, work, substances, gambling, sex, shopping or whatever else you may think it is. 

Some of us are wild and out of control. And some of us are able to manage our addiction. But we all struggle, we exhaust ourselves putting forth tremendous effort to refrain, and in the end we either cave in or temporarily fight off. But we all have this one addiction, and it is the cause of all our other addictions.

In this podcast, I share what this universal addiction is. I talk about how we get it, how to notice it, and how to free ourselves from it. This addiction is the root cause to all of our other addictions. It's why we often swap one addiction for another. It's why we can seem to have many addictions or an "addictive personality."

As long as we focus on the symptoms of our addiction — the substances or the activities — we will never be free. When we get to the root cause of our addiction, all addictions effortlessly fade away. Here's how to do exactly that.

Please enjoy other episodes where I share meditation techniques, tips and spiritual lessons from around the world for peaceful and stress-free living. Remember to subscribe to stay up-to-date.
