So, rather than think about addiction as a permanent disease, I actually think of it as a neural pathway that's grown strong like an oak over time.
Ever wondered how to break free from the grip of addiction? Chris Scott, a recovery coach and former heavy drinker, dives deep into this question in episode 31 of Elevation Recovery. With a decade of personal experience and five years of coaching under his belt, Chris lays out his top six strategies for 'resetting' your brain away from addiction. Chris emphasizes the transformative power of neuroplasticity—the brain's ability to rewire itself.
He shares practical techniques like meditation and visualization, which can help shift your mindset and reduce cravings. Feeling grateful might seem simple, but Chris explains how it can significantly impact your recovery journey. Books and other resources play a crucial role too. Chris encourages expanding your knowledge base to better understand addiction and recovery. He also introduces the concept of hormetic stressors—small, manageable doses of stress that can build resilience over time.
Sleep is another cornerstone of recovery that Chris highlights. He recommends 'Why We Sleep' by Matthew Walker, PhD, as a must-read for anyone looking to improve their sleep patterns and, by extension, their recovery. Whether you're in the throes of addiction or supporting someone who is, this episode offers actionable advice and hope. Chris Scott's insights are not just theoretical; they're grounded in real-life experience, making them all the more compelling.
