"It is rare for a man to have only one addiction."
According to Dr Ron Johnson, addictions start as something that is "good" for us but easily become something that we rely upon for relief or momentary happiness. In this episode, you'll learn the differences between chemical and behavioural addictions, why and how we become addicted, the work required to avoid or end addictions, and the main reasons why men are often susceptible to addiction.
Dr. Ron Johnson is a psychologist and psychotherapist with over 50 years of experience working with men. His latest book, 'Balls: Men Finding Courage with Words, Work, Wine, and Women', talks about how men can truly mature by finding, valuing, and expressing themselves and, ultimately, find success in all areas of their lives.
