Why “stopping” is not enough

This video is a great example of why we encourage individuals to do their “inside” work while they’re making behavioral changes with their addictions. Individuals who only focus on stopping behaviors (in this guy’s case, losing weight) but fail to address the underlying causes of the addiction, only go back to relapsing. Recovery takes time and that time is best spent understanding the root causes that create and maintain addictive behaviors. I hope he’s able to do that work and overcome his addiction, shame, and create the kind of life he desires.
