When the consequences begin to heavily outweigh the benefits, the substances become exhausted resources.
Ever felt like alcohol or drugs were your go-to for confidence or social ease, only to find them turning into a heavy burden? In this episode of Elevation Recovery, Matt Finch takes you on a candid journey through the highs and lows of substance use. Once a source of euphoria and social lubricant, these substances can quickly spiral into something much darker.
Matt opens up about his own struggles, from using alcohol as 'liquid confidence' to eventually relying on prescription opioids and even black tar heroin. He doesn't just stop at sharing his story; he digs into the science of brain chemistry and how it plays a crucial role in addiction. This episode is a raw, eye-opening look at how what once seemed like a solution can become an overwhelming problem.
It's perfect for anyone grappling with addiction or supporting someone who is. Through Matt's personal anecdotes and expert insights, you'll gain a deeper understanding of why seeking help is so important and what recovery strategies can actually work.
