Addiction in any form can impact decision-making in more ways than you may think. What would you do if forced to choose between the life you know vs. the life you could have?
Research has shown that addictive behaviors are symptoms of decision-making processes that fail to take into account long-term consequences of actions. These thinking errors can create unwanted challenges for finding clarity and making healthy choices. This episode features the story of author and recovery advocate Ed Kressy, who entered long-term recovery after a history of battling drug addiction. We discuss the impact of addiction on decisions and how his choice to find sobriety led him to a place he never could have imagined.
You can get a copy of Ed's book My Addiction & Recoveryon Amazon, which best-selling author Seth Godin called "personal and beautifully written...a story of redemption, possibility and the power of a second chance."
