I realized I was normal again. I was Claudia again, I had myself back, my brain was normal.
What if there was a way to block the urge to drink? In this episode of 'Sober Exposure', host Jennifer Wylde sits down with Claudia Christian, who shares her transformative journey with alcoholism. Claudia opens up about how she battled her addiction using naltrexone, a medication that blocks the brain's reinforcement from alcohol.
She dives into the science behind the 'lizard brain' and its role in relapse, offering a fascinating look at how our brains can work against us in recovery. But that's not all—Claudia also discusses the complex relationship between hormones and alcohol use disorder, shedding light on why some people are more prone to addiction. The conversation takes an interesting turn as they explore the benefits of telemedicine for addiction treatment, making recovery more accessible than ever.
Claudia's story is a testament to the power of community support, especially in high-stress industries like hospitality. If you're curious about innovative approaches to sobriety or looking for inspiration, this episode is a must-listen.
