And it takes training and time and patience and Hardwork to reverse the pathways that have been formed by addiction.
Ever wondered why breaking free from addiction feels like an uphill battle? In this episode of 'Recovering You', Cameron Harrison sits down with Maurice Harker, the Director of Life Changing Services and author of 'Like Dragons Did They Fight', to shed light on the brain's chemical responses to addiction.
Maurice breaks down the 'chemical scale', a concept that helps explain why addiction isn't just about poor choices but involves deep-seated brain patterns that require time, training, and a lot of patience to change. This isn't your run-of-the-mill chat; it's packed with actionable insights and a deep dive into how therapy, support groups, and daily habits can pave the way to recovery.
Maurice also touches on the emotional battles that come with addiction and how childhood experiences can shape our struggles and triumphs. If you've ever felt overwhelmed by the journey to sobriety, this episode offers a blend of science and hope to help you reclaim your life.
