When something bad happens, what do you do? I medicate. So not only are addicts trying to yank this truck out of the ruts by their own, but they're convinced they don't have a choice, because it's the ruts in the brain that convinces them. They know no other way, they know no other way.
Ever wondered why breaking free from addiction feels like an uphill battle? In this episode of 'Freedom to Choose', Rich and Susan Kallenberg dive into the fascinating science behind addiction, focusing on how our brain's neural pathways can trap us in harmful habits. They share their own stories, shedding light on how addiction can strip away our power of choice, leaving us feeling stuck and powerless.
The episode delves into the unique challenges teens face, especially during critical brain development years. Rich and Susan discuss how understanding these neural pathways can be a game-changer in the fight against addiction. They also explore the role of faith and God's plan in the journey to recovery, offering a blend of spiritual and practical guidance. Towards the end, the Kallenbergs introduce their seven-step, biblically-based recovery workbook, designed to help listeners break old habits and carve out a new path.
This episode isn't just about understanding addiction; it's about reclaiming your power of choice and finding hope through faith and knowledge. Tune in for a mix of science, personal reflection, and spiritual insight that could be the first step towards your freedom.
