Anything that gives our brain a reward can be hacked or hijacked, and we go from liking something to wanting it to where we not just want it that we need it in order to survive.
Have you ever wondered why some people struggle to break free from addiction? In this episode of 'Everyday Addict', host Brian Ario takes us on a journey through the brain's reward system and how substances can hijack it. Brian, an experienced addiction counselor, breaks down the science behind addiction in a way that's easy to understand. He explains how our brains, which are wired to seek pleasure, can be overtaken by addictive substances and behaviors.
This isn't about labeling addiction as good or bad; it's about understanding the natural processes that can become harmful when they dominate our lives. Brian's compassionate approach shines through as he offers hope and practical advice for those battling addiction. He emphasizes that recovery is possible and encourages listeners to seek treatment. If you're looking for a blend of science, empathy, and actionable steps, this episode is a must-listen.
