If you suffer from alcoholism or addiction, you have to remember that you have the addicted brain, and the addicted brain is one of the most fascinating brains in the world, and it means that if you put your mind to it and can visualize it, you can accomplish anything you want.
Ever wondered how someone can go from academic success to living on the streets, and then back to helping others recover? Dr. Robb Kelly's story is one of those rare tales that defies the odds. Born into a family with a history of alcoholism, Dr. Kelly started drinking and using drugs at an early age. Despite his struggles, he pursued a PhD in Psychology at Oxford University in the early 1980s.
His academic achievements were impressive, but his addiction was a constant shadow. He managed to graduate, yet his drinking habits worsened, eventually leading him to homelessness in Manchester. A life-changing revelation hit him one night, prompting him to rethink his approach to addiction. This turning point led him to coin phrases like 'The Problem is not our Drinking, it is our Thinking' and 'Step out of the Disease, and into the Solution'. Now a world-renowned addiction expert, Dr.
Kelly believes in treating the root causes of addiction rather than just the symptoms. In this episode of The Funky Brain Business Podcast, Dr. Kelly shares his personal journey and professional insights into addiction recovery. He discusses the unique nature of the addicted brain, the impact of shame and stigma, and the power of positive thinking and visualization in achieving lasting sobriety.
His story serves as a beacon of hope, reminding us that recovery is possible with the right mindset and support. If you're looking for an inspiring and transformative perspective on addiction recovery, this episode is a must-listen.
