Fundamentally, the idea of a general addictive personality is a myth.
Ever wondered if you were born with an 'addictive personality'? In this episode of 'Sideways', hosts Graham Landi and Martin Pankhurst take a deep dive into this widely believed myth. They argue that labeling yourself with an addictive personality can actually hinder your recovery journey. Instead, they explore how environmental factors, like family habits and societal norms, play a more significant role in addiction. Brain wiring also gets a mention, shedding light on the complex nature of substance dependence.
But it's not all heavy; the duo brings their signature humor to the table, even lamenting the loss of the UK's beloved Pick n Mix candy tradition. Whether you're struggling with addiction, supporting someone who is, or just curious about the topic, this episode offers a blend of serious insights and light-hearted moments. Tune in to hear why Graham says, 'The idea of a general addictive personality is a myth'.
It's an episode packed with valuable takeaways that make the complicated world of addiction a bit more understandable.
