In this episode we talked about: Looking at the problem vs. only treating the symptoms Not being able to connect with your emotions Getting in touch with your emotions and higher self Happiness comes from within Not feeling fulfilled or happy Taking one day at a time Getting rid of the ego Being able to say no Not feeling worthy because of your childhood Strategizing your mental state We're here on earth for a reason Impact, grow and change Not getting back to the temptation Keeping the great memories instead of looking to the past We don't get addicted to the drug, or the alcohol, or the pill, we get addicted to the escape, the emotional escape that we need I think that my purpose, the ability that God gave me, was the ability to save all the mommies and daddy's out there "You have to be accountable to know when something's wrong and be a professional so you can approach people" About Darren: Darren Prince, International Best Selling author of his memoir “Aiming High” is a prominent sports and celebrity agent and global advocate for addiction and recovery.
