I don't want to go back to the pain, but I don't mind the discomfort, because the discomfort has led me to the growth that I'm experiencing.
Ever looked in the mirror and not recognized the person staring back? James Yount knows that feeling all too well. In this episode of the Addict II Athlete Podcast, host Blu Robinson sits down with James to unpack his incredible journey from addiction and trauma to a life of healing and self-discovery. James comes from a background filled with addiction and trauma, which led him down a dark path marked by anger, overeating, and even suicidal thoughts.
But in 2020, he decided enough was enough. He flushed his drugs down the toilet and set simple goals—like doing the dishes and walking his dog. These small steps turned into giant leaps as he has remained clean and sober since that day, shedding 155 pounds in the process. James talks about how discomfort can be a catalyst for growth, comparing it to how diamonds and pearls are formed under pressure.
He emphasizes the importance of not taking any moment for granted and being introspective to facilitate change. His story is a powerful reminder that early behaviors can be unlearned, and new, healthier habits can take their place. Tune in to hear James's inspiring journey and discover how embracing discomfort can lead to incredible growth.
