Episode Overview
- Addiction is a brain disorder that overrides willpower and rational thought

- Traditional willpower-based approaches are ineffective in combating addiction
- Modern solutions and approaches are crucial for successful recovery
Every waking moment of every day is consumed by getting more of what they want. And as a consequence, mother is seen as the problem. Society is seen as a problem. Work is seen as a problem.
Imagine thinking you could overcome addiction just by wanting it badly enough. This episode of 'Busting Addiction and Its Myths' takes a hard look at that very misconception. Bruno Jr. dives into the complex nature of addiction, debunking the idea that sheer willpower is enough to conquer it. He explains how addiction rewires the brain, making it a formidable opponent that can't be outwitted by determination alone.
The discussion also touches on how addiction wreaks havoc on relationships and society, emphasizing the need for a modern, holistic approach to recovery. If you've ever wondered why some people can't 'just stop,' this episode will give you a deeper understanding of the brain's role in addiction and why a comprehensive recovery plan is essential.
