Addiction is addiction, is addiction, no matter the drug, behavior or substance. I'm an addict and so are you. Now let's be the safety net for each other as we climb down from that razor's edge.
What if the true addiction isn't to a specific substance, but to the feeling it gives? In this episode of the Real Sobriety Podcast, Robert McClellan, a filmmaker and sobriety coach, dives into the core of addiction. He shares his personal journey and the realization that his addiction was more about the desire for escape and the rush of anticipation than the substances themselves. Robert reflects on his experiences at AA meetings, where he found solace and understanding.
He discusses how the anticipation of a high can often be more rewarding than the actual chemical effect. Through his candid storytelling, Robert emphasizes that whether you're an old-timer or a newcomer, the path to addiction often looks remarkably similar. The episode also highlights the importance of being a safety net for one another in recovery. It's a thought-provoking discussion that offers deep insights into the psychological aspects of addiction and the universal need for support.
Tune in for an engaging and informative conversation that might just change how you view addiction.
