Loose Inhibitions and the Road to Recovery: A Deep Dive into Impulsivity

It's a vital piece, as we sail on our ship called recovery, that we begin to reestablish our positive inhibitions rather than continuing to live with loose inhibitions.
Ever wondered how impulsivity can derail your recovery journey? In this thought-provoking episode of 'A2D - From Addict to Disciple', host David Hain tackles the crucial role inhibitions play in addiction and recovery. Drawing an interesting parallel to the saying 'loose lips sink ships', Hain explains how 'loose inhibitions' can lead to relapse. He delves into the brain's frontal cortex, the area responsible for decision-making and inhibition, and how substances like drugs and alcohol impair its function.
As you start your path to sobriety, you might realize that the person you aspire to be doesn't need substances to thrive. This episode emphasizes the importance of reestablishing positive inhibitions—those internal checks that help you regulate behavior and make wise choices. Hain also warns against loosening these inhibitions just to fit in or gain acceptance, as it can be a slippery slope back to substance abuse.
Instead, he encourages embracing your positive inhibitions and making well-thought-out decisions before acting on impulses. By the end of the episode, you'll find a message of hope: feelings of guilt and shame are signs that your conscience is waking up, indicating progress in your recovery journey. This episode is packed with practical advice, personal insights, and a supportive tone that makes it a must-listen for anyone navigating the complexities of addiction recovery.
