In this solo episode, Adam takes listeners on a profound journey through the multi-dimensional nature of addiction. But this isn’t your typical recovery narrative. This is a dismantling of the illusion — a six-dimensional examination of how addiction isn’t always about the substance, but the story we’ve been sold about who we are.
We talk identity. We talk pharmaceuticals. We talk cell phones, cigarettes, and the spiritual warfare of dependency. This episode asks the questions no mainstream conversation ever dares to:
From real-life reflections to raw truth-telling, this is a message for anyone who’s ever felt stuck in a pattern, loop, or label. You’re not alone. And more importantly, you’re not powerless.
This one’s not about shame or blame. It’s about liberation. It’s about seeing the Matrix for what it is, and choosing something higher.
Whether it’s alcohol, food, pills, social media, or just the nagging belief that you’re “not enough,” this episode is your permission slip to question it all and remember: you were whole the whole time.

Quote from the Episode:
"Addiction dies in the light of truth. You were never not okay. And once you realize you were never broken… there’s nothing left to fix.”
