What We Really Want: Conversations About Connection
If it's true that "...the opposite of addiction is not sobriety...the opposite of addiction is connection," there are lots of people who need to discover what true, healthy connection looks like. Whether the struggle is with addiction, toxic relationship dynamics, or something else, we've all tried to meet our needs in unhealthy ways. Way too often, the things we run to for comfort leave us feeling even more disconnected and alone than before.
Through conversations about the many ways we can connect, we offer an invitation to discover and move toward what we really want, so we can live the lives we were created for.
Awaken (awakenrecovery.com) helps men and women whose lives have been wrecked by unwanted/addictive sexual behaviors and sexual betrayal trauma. We hope the podcast will help not only those struggling sexually, but anyone who seeks healthier ways of finding connection.

29 | Ian Morgan Cron: Desperate for a Fix
"Send us a message! (questions, feedback, etc.)"
Walking through a life where so many things go wrong (often so early), it's no wonder many people struggle to understand what they need or even who they really are. That's why I was so excited to talk with Ian Morgan Cron.
Ian is is an author, speaker, psychotherapist, songwriter, and Episcopal priest. He's also known for popularizing the Enneagram, a personality typing system identifying nine types of people and how they relate to one another and the world. Ian's book The Road Back to You, is considered by many to be THE authoritative primer on understanding the Enneagram.
In recovery since 1987, Ian also has a love for and belief in the efficacy of the Twelve Steps. In fact, he's written a book about it. The Fix: How the Twelve Steps Offer a Surprising Path of Transformation for the Well-Adjusted, the Down-and-Out, and Everyone In Between releases January 28, 2025.
