Alex and I met back in 2018, and the way he articulates his story is so inspiring that I knew he had to be on the podcast. Alex is in two different 12-step programs, one for behavior and one for substance, in his case, food. That\\u2019s why episode 150 of the Fragmented to Whole Podcast is about how Alex was addicted to comfort, and his story through that recognition during recovery.

Some of the talking points I go over in this episode include:

• How Alex came to recognize his addiction to sugar through a 12-step recovery program.\\xa0
• How much bigger of a change his perspective shift was over his weight loss, and the perspective shifts he\\u2019s made along his journey.
• Alex\\u2019s relationship with a high power and surrender, and how that shifted from childhood age as a bully and being bullied, to today.
