I honestly, truly believe- and I hope this gives somebody listening some hope- that a lot of the people who are in long-term recovery actually have it above those of us that have never struggled with substance use disorder, because they've done a lot of work on themselves and they've learned coping strategies outside of drugs and alcohol, and they've learned how to live in this world and take responsibility for themselves.
Ever wondered what really goes on in the mind of someone struggling with addiction? In this episode of 'The Purple Effect', host Natalie DeLaCruz sits down with Kristin Young, the Clinical Director at Herren Project, to break down the basics of addiction and substance use disorder. Natalie and Kristin tackle the science behind addiction, explaining how it affects both the brain and body.
They discuss the genetic factors that can make some people more susceptible to addiction and the importance of early intervention. One of the highlights is their conversation about 'The First Day', a concept that emphasizes delaying substance use as a key strategy in preventing addiction. Kristin offers practical advice on coping mechanisms and shares insights into the physical and psychological challenges faced by those in recovery.
The episode doesn't just stop at theory; it also features a panel of young people in recovery who share their personal journeys, emphasizing the importance of hope and resilience. Whether you're a young adult facing these issues yourself or someone looking to understand and support a loved one, this episode is packed with valuable information and heartfelt stories that can guide you toward a healthier, more fulfilling life.
