Taming the Tiger: Chris West-Russell on Addiction Behaviors
“We've become very sick people and we don't see any way out. This is where I was at percent, and we just don't take any responsibility whatsoever for where we've got to.”
Have you ever wondered why addiction can feel like an insatiable beast? In this episode of 'Addiction and Recovery', Chris West-Russell, who has been sober for over 40 years after eight years of active addiction, dives into the intricacies of addictive behaviors. Joined by guests who share their own stories, Chris examines how addiction transforms behavior and why 'one is too many and a thousand is never enough'.
They discuss the science behind addiction, particularly how denial acts as a powerful defense mechanism that keeps individuals trapped in their destructive habits. Through personal anecdotes and expert insights, listeners will gain a deeper understanding of what drives addiction and how recovery is possible. One guest reveals how a recovery program helped her tackle an eating addiction rooted in unresolved personal issues. This episode is not just about the struggle; it's about hope, faith, and the strength found in recovery.
By the end, you'll see how those who conquer their addictions can become guiding lights for others on similar journeys.
