The Identity Philosophy

Establishing an identity for the self is something people do over the course of their lives. 

Often, people tie their identities to their behaviors, even if the behaviors are negative. 

For addicts, this is especially true. 

Addicts often call themselves lazy or selfish and then assume that’s who they are. 

In truth, addiction influences your behaviors, and your identity is much more than an addiction.

Tony Scruggs helps people take control of their identities and get in touch with who they really are, even in the midst of making behavioral changes. 

He joins Erica to explain how you can separate your behaviors from your identity and the importance of talking about yourself in ways that are positive and supportive of who you really are.
