1KHO 438: To Be Alive is To Be Addicted | Ian Cron, The Fix

58 min • 26 februari 2025

To be alive is to be addicted—whether to work, control, social media, or the need for approval, we all have something we turn to in order to soothe our pain.


Addiction isn’t just about alcohol or drugs—it’s about anything we use to numb our pain, from workaholism to social media to people-pleasing. In this eye-opening conversation, bestselling author and Enneagram expert Ian Cron joins Ginny Yurich to discuss his latest book, The Fix: How the 12 Steps Offer a Surprising Path of Transformation for the Well-Adjusted, the Down and Out, and Everyone in Between. Together, they explore the hidden compulsions that rule our lives, the surprising depth of the 12-step process, and why true healing requires surrendering our self-made solutions in favor of something far greater.


This episode isn’t just about addiction—it’s about waking up. Ian shares how our culture profits from keeping us distracted and addicted, the spiritual roots of compulsive behaviors, and why emotional sobriety is the key to lasting peace. Whether you struggle with food, control, screens, or perfectionism, The Fix offers a path toward transformation. Listen in as Ian and Ginny unpack what it means to truly let go—and why that’s where real freedom begins.
