Addiction is a disease that is described as being cunning, baffling and powerful, and it will always be cunning and powerful. But hopefully this session of podcasts has made it a little less baffling, a little more understandable.
Why does our society still struggle to see addiction as a treatable disease? In this episode of 'Hope for Recovery', Kal Rissman, a seasoned addiction counselor, takes on this pressing question. He argues that until addiction is recognized alongside other treatable diseases, our culture will continue to face significant challenges. Kal doesn't shy away from the hard truths. He points out that our tendency to seek quick fixes for emotional pain only deepens the problem. But there's a silver lining.
Kal assures us that recovery, while painful, can also bring immense joy. He calls for a cultural shift—a spiritual renewal—that prioritizes early intervention and education about the genetic factors of addiction. This episode is a must-listen for anyone affected by addiction, offering both hope and practical strategies for recovery. Kal's compassionate yet straightforward approach makes complex issues more understandable, leaving listeners feeling both informed and encouraged.
