Imagine battling addiction and feeling utterly alone. Hosts Roger Boaz and Jason Rice know that struggle all too well. In this episode of the Soberholic Podcast, they dive into a fascinating discussion about the role of human connection in overcoming addiction. Drawing inspiration from the famous Rat Park experiment, Roger and Jason explore how relationships and community can be game-changers in the recovery journey.
Roger and Jason share their personal stories, reflecting on how the support of others has been crucial in their own paths to sobriety. They delve into the physical and emotional aspects of addiction, distinguishing between mere habits and deeper dependencies. The conversation takes a heartfelt turn as they discuss the fear of judgment and rejection that often keeps people isolated in their struggles.

Roger and Jason highlight the importance of accountability and support groups, offering practical advice on how to build meaningful connections even when it feels daunting. Whether you're in recovery yourself or supporting someone who is, this episode provides valuable insights into the healing power of human connection.
