Substance addiction is a person losing themselves over time as they use. So the more they use, the more of themselves they lose and the more their life becomes unmanageable.
Imagine battling a condition that convinces you to seek short-term rewards despite knowing the long-term damage. In this episode of 'Courage Recovery', addiction educator Roger L'Hereault sheds light on the complex nature of addiction as a chronic disease of the brain's reward system. Roger dives into why some people struggle to accept addiction as a diagnosable mental illness, touching on fears of self-admission, societal pressures, and the impact on loved ones.
He also highlights the critical role of social support and fellowship in the recovery journey. This episode is packed with insights aimed at closing the knowledge gap around addiction, making it an essential listen for anyone affected by substance use disorders or those supporting someone in recovery. Tune in for a compassionate, educational discussion that could change the way you understand addiction.
