Nothing except a man's own mind, whether the treatment extends over Six Weeks, Six Months Or six years, can ever relieve him of the danger of a relapse into alcoholism.
Ever wondered what really goes on in the mind of someone battling addiction? In this episode of 'Habits that Handicap', Charles B. Towns takes us on a deep dive into the psychology behind addiction. Forget the usual advice about sympathy and encouragement; Towns argues that these may not be the most effective tools. Instead, he suggests that cutting off excuses and fostering self-confidence are the real game-changers in recovery. But that's just the beginning.
Towns also touches on medical treatments, the surprising link between syphilis and alcoholism, and why some people might need institutional care. He doesn't shy away from tough topics, offering a candid look at how modern life and generational changes influence addiction. Whether you're dealing with addiction yourself, supporting someone who is, or simply curious about the complexities of addiction psychology, this episode is packed with valuable insights and practical advice.
It's a raw, no-nonsense take on a subject that affects so many lives.
