The addiction diagnosis per se has a progressive nature. Addiction progresses through the different stages of use. I think we're saying similar things, but there's a difference in that there are people that are social users, likely never have addiction abusing people, but they're never likely having addiction.
Ever wondered what happens when a seasoned therapist and a former alcoholic sit down to discuss addiction recovery? In this eye-opening episode of 'Through a Therapist's Eyes', host Chris Gazdik welcomes Daniel Gasser, who battled alcoholism for over 30 years. The conversation is anything but ordinary as it pits professional research against lived experience, offering listeners a unique blend of perspectives on tackling addiction.
Chris and Daniel dive into some heated debates about the nature of addiction, including whether it's a disease, how much genetics play a role, and the fine line between social drinking and addiction. They don't shy away from controversial topics, making this episode both engaging and thought-provoking. But it's not all about the science and theory. Daniel shares personal stories from his journey to sobriety, providing real-life context to the discussion.
He talks about the struggles, the setbacks, and the small victories that come with trying to stay sober. Chris, on the other hand, offers insights from years of therapy practice, shedding light on relapse prevention and the importance of emotional awareness in recovery. Whether you're someone battling addiction, supporting a loved one through their journey, or simply interested in understanding more about this complex issue, this episode has something valuable for you.
It's a raw, honest conversation that doesn't sugarcoat the challenges but also offers hope and practical advice. Tune in to hear a therapist and a former addict tackle the myths and stereotypes surrounding addiction. Their dialogue might just change the way you think about recovery.
