Unmasking Addiction: The Self-Centered Spiral

When your loved one addict does the most selfish things, you can imagine things that, when she was quote- normal that is not using- she would never do or say.
Imagine living in a world where your every thought revolves around getting that next high. In this episode of 'Busting Addiction and Its Myths', Bruno J dives deep into the extreme self-centeredness that defines addiction. He paints a vivid picture of how addicts, driven by an insatiable urge, abandon their core values and engage in reckless, sometimes violent behaviors.
From seeking out stronger drugs to gambling away their family’s future, the addict’s journey is fraught with peril and poor judgment, even when they’re not actively using. Bruno J doesn’t just stop at substance abuse; he also tackles gambling addiction, highlighting how it can devastate lives in non-violent yet equally destructive ways.
One striking moment in the episode is when Bruno J notes, 'When your loved one addict does the most selfish things you can imagine, things that, when she was quote-normal, she would never do or say'. This episode offers a raw and eye-opening look at the dark side of addiction and its impact on families. Bruno J also discusses the positive role of AA and other 12-step programs, dispelling myths about these support systems being cult-like.
If you’re looking for a candid exploration of addiction’s harsh realities and some hope through recovery programs, this episode is a must-listen.
