When we think about wellness, we want people to be happy and healthy. And we also know that one of the things I like to always remind people is that addiction is a brain disorder. So we know that there's so many people who are struggling with those issues when we think about what else can be done.
Picture this: You're on the path to recovery, but it feels like something's missing. That's where wellness comes in. In this episode of Friends In Recovery, hosts Ed Chionchio Sr. and Jeff Zeizel dive into the often-overlooked aspects of recovery that go beyond just attending meetings. They chat about how self-medication can lead to addiction and why it's essential to tackle the root causes of unhappiness.
Jeff and Ed aren't just talking heads; they share their personal stories, making the conversation relatable and real. Ed talks about how running has been a game-changer in his recovery, while Jeff breaks down the science of dopamine and its role in addiction. But it's not all about exercise and brain chemistry; they also emphasize the importance of social connections.
Humans aren't meant to go it alone, and having friends, family, fitness, and faith (the 4 F's) can make all the difference. Whether you're struggling with addiction or supporting someone who is, this episode offers practical advice and heartfelt encouragement. Tune in for a dose of inspiration and some friendly banter between Ed and Jeff as they discuss what it really takes to achieve lasting wellness in recovery.
