Unlocking Sobriety: The Role of Brain Chemistry in Recovery

When we are in early sobriety, one of the biggest challenges we face is finding the patience to let our routine change and let the time pass with our new routine, so that our subconscious mind gets used to the new routine and says: hey, I no longer crave alcohol at o 'clock at night.
Ever wondered why quitting alcohol feels like an uphill battle? In this episode of the Untoxicated Podcast, hosts Matt and Sheri Salis dive deep into the science behind sobriety, focusing on brain chemistry. They break down how alcohol messes with your neurotransmitters, hijacking your brain's reward system and making it tough to find joy without a drink. But it's not just about willpower; your subconscious mind plays a huge role too.
Even if you consciously decide to quit, your brain might still crave alcohol until new habits are formed. Matt and Sheri share their personal struggles with addiction, offering a raw look at the challenges of changing routines and the importance of patience and support. Whether you're battling addiction yourself or supporting a loved one, this episode offers valuable insights and hope for the journey to recovery.
