Relapse rates are so chronic it's almost impossible for someone to quit once and then never use again. Beyond that, it's just dealing with life.
Have you ever wondered how addiction can take over your life, stripping away your ability to make choices freely? In this episode of Elevation Recovery, Matt Finch and Chris Scott dig deep into the complex relationship between addiction and free will. They don't just skim the surface; they dive into the nitty-gritty details of how addiction messes with your brain chemistry, making it hard to break free from its grasp.
Matt and Chris also tackle some hot topics in the world of addiction recovery. They talk about relapse rates and why they happen, and they share their thoughts on whether addiction should be considered a disease. Their conversation isn't just theoretical; they bring in practical advice on building a solid daily routine and using nutrient repair to help your brain recover. One of the most interesting parts of the episode is their discussion on stoicism.
They explain how this ancient philosophy can be a powerful tool for getting through tough times. Plus, they draw parallels between the recovery journey and Joseph Campbell's 'Hero's Journey', showing how overcoming addiction can be seen as a heroic quest. This episode is packed with valuable insights for anyone dealing with addiction or interested in understanding it better. Whether you're struggling yourself or supporting someone who is, you'll find plenty of food for thought here.
