Addiction is very sneaky like that, and it forms slowly. And you're like: well, how can it affect stress? I have a drink, I smoke a joint or I pop some pills, and now, all of a sudden, I finally feel better.
What makes someone more likely to fall into the grip of addiction? In this episode of 'Everyday Addict', Brian Ario breaks down the complex web of factors that contribute to addiction. With his wealth of experience as an addiction counselor, Brian dives into how substances affect the brain's reward system, creating a cycle of cravings and compulsive behavior. But it’s not just about the drugs themselves.
Brian sheds light on the roles of genetics, environment, and personal development in shaping addiction risks. He makes it clear that addiction doesn't happen overnight; it's a gradual process often masked by other behaviors until it's deeply entrenched. However, there's hope. Brian emphasizes the importance of recognizing these risk factors early and seeking quality treatment and therapy to manage and overcome addiction.
Whether you're personally affected or supporting someone who is, this episode offers valuable insights into understanding and tackling addiction.
