I felt free when I got sober, but, man, I never felt more free in my entire life when I finally worked on some of my unresolved traumas.
Can trauma and addiction be two sides of the same coin? In this compelling episode of 'Addiction Warfare', Frank Boro dives deep into the often-ignored connection between past traumas and present addictions. Many people battling addiction have histories marked by significant trauma, and they might turn to substances as a way to numb their emotional pain. But, as Frank explains, addressing these deep-seated traumas is crucial for anyone seeking lasting recovery.
Frank doesn't just talk about the problem; he also sheds light on the science behind it. He explores how unresolved trauma can trigger physical and emotional responses that make relapse more likely.

Frank shares his own journey, illustrating how facing his traumas head-on was a key part of his path to sobriety.
Through personal stories and expert insights, this episode offers a unique perspective on how trauma and addiction are intertwined. Frank emphasizes that achieving sobriety is just one part of the battle; working through past traumas is equally vital for true peace and freedom. Whether you're struggling with addiction yourself or supporting someone who is, this episode provides valuable tools and insights to help navigate the complex landscape of recovery.
