It's not an exact science. It's complicated. It's pretty individual. But you come back to the environment you got addicted in, and maybe you quit alcohol, but you start doing cocaine.
Imagine being at the top of your game, only to have it all come crashing down. That’s exactly what happened to Erik Bertrand Larsen, one of Norway’s most renowned mental trainers. In this episode of Sukkerpodden, host Bente Josefsen sits down with Erik to uncover his gripping story of painkiller addiction following a car accident that left him with a severe neck injury.
What started as a necessity for pain management spiraled into a full-blown addiction, leading Erik down a path he never expected to walk: rehab. Erik’s journey is a raw and honest look at the complexities of addiction. He opens up about the moment he realized his painkiller use was out of control and the steps he took to reclaim his life.
His story isn’t just about the struggle; it’s about resilience, the power of seeking help, and the importance of a supportive environment. Erik delves into how his surroundings played a crucial role in both his downfall and his recovery, highlighting that addiction doesn’t happen in isolation.

He emphasizes how becoming more self-aware helped him manage his cravings and stay on the path to sobriety. His experiences serve as a powerful reminder that overcoming addiction is not just about willpower; it’s about building a toolbox of strategies and seeking support from those around you. This episode of Sukkerpodden is a must-listen for anyone grappling with addiction or supporting someone who is.
