Elliott Hulse Is Wrong About Addiction (The Victim Mindset Trap)

John responds to his friend and mentor Elliott Hulse - and pushes back hard. Elliott recently said he can't beat his drinking because "only God can take it away." John calls that what it is: the victim mindset dressed up as faith. This isn't a religion debate. It's about the one thing that actually changes your life - taking 100% responsibility for it.
