Jim Huntzicker: Becoming Unaddicted - The Unconventional Way to Beat Addiction

What is an addictive personality? Are we born with it or nurtured into it?

How do we avoid the trap of breaking one bad habit by replacing it with another one? 

How does one identify the REAL reasons behind addiction, and most importantly, how do we overcome them and replace them with good habits?

Jim Huntzicker is no stranger to addiction. He has successfully overcome NINE different addictive behaviors and now he helps people (men in particular) identify what's holding them back, address the root issue, and find freedom.

In this episode, Jim and Christian discuss:

• Jim's family of origin and how that led to his addictive tendencies.
• How swapping one addiction for another led Jim to gain over 60 lbs.
• The mental gymnastics and excuse loops people with addictions get stuck in.
• Why most conventional ways of overcoming addiction (like 12-step programs) don't work for the vast majority of people.
• Several stories of making men cry because they finally found someone who listened, understood, and asked questions.
• Abstinence vs moderation and how to know which is best for you. 
• Why Jim had security called on him (and was thrown out of a doctor's office) for letting a doctor know what he REALLY thought?
• His recent journey to faith and how allowing God into his life changed everything.

Jim and Christian have a lot in common with their energy, passion, and perspective on coaching, and what it takes to create a breakthrough. That dynamic made for a fun and lively conversation we think you'll enjoy.
