Addiction is manifested in any behavior that a person finds relief or temporary pleasure in and therefore craves, suffers negative consequences as a result of the behavior and then continues it in spite of the negative consequences.
Ever been told to 'just stop' an addictive behavior? In this episode of Red Roof Recovery, hosts Tanya and Lance share their personal journeys and frustrations with this all-too-common question. They dive into the various tools and strategies that have helped them, like cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and self-empowerment techniques, while also tackling the stigma that surrounds addiction. From the impact of childhood trauma to the role of dopamine in addictive behaviors, this conversation is both enlightening and relatable.
Lance's candid take on addiction as a cycle of temporary relief followed by negative consequences will resonate with anyone who's struggled with these issues. The episode also highlights the power of unconditional acceptance and forgiveness, offering a fresh perspective on how to approach recovery. Tanya and Lance's blend of professional advice and personal stories makes this episode a must-listen for anyone affected by addiction, whether directly or through a loved one.
