Description

In this episode of The Real Recovery Podcast we get pointed and take a deep dive into the scientific side of drug and alcohol addiction. Great effort is made in the pursuit of universal understandingโ€” join host Crystal Moore as she guides listeners through Neurobiology as it relates to addiction; its disease components, and understand the relationships between brain function and why common tropes of โ€œmind over matterโ€, โ€œfaithโ€, and โ€œhopeโ€ donโ€™t constitute strategically. This is an episode power packed with information to help anyone understand the approach of addiction as a disease better. ๐—ง๐—›๐—˜ ๐—ฅ๐—˜๐—”๐—Ÿ ๐—ฅ๐—˜๐—–๐—ข๐—ฉ๐—˜๐—ฅ๐—ฌ ๐—ฃ๐—ข๐——๐—–๐—”๐—ฆ๐—ง ๐—ถ๐˜€ ๐—ฎ๐—น๐—ฟ๐—ฒ๐—ฎ๐—ฑ๐˜† ๐˜„๐—ผ๐—ฟ๐—ธ๐—ถ๐—ป๐—ด ๐—ผ๐—ป ๐—ผ๐˜‚๐—ฟ ๐—ป๐—ฒ๐˜…๐˜ ๐—ฎ๐—ป๐—ฑ ๐˜๐—ต๐—ถ๐—ฟ๐—ฑ ๐˜€๐—ฒ๐—ฎ๐˜€๐—ผ๐—ป! ๐—ช๐—ฒ ๐—ฎ๐—ฟ๐—ฒ ๐—น๐—ผ๐—ผ๐—ธ๐—ถ๐—ป๐—ด ๐—ณ๐—ผ๐—ฟ ๐—ฝ๐—ฒ๐—ผ๐—ฝ๐—น๐—ฒ ๐—ฐ๐˜‚๐—ฟ๐—ฟ๐—ฒ๐—ป๐˜๐—น๐˜† ๐—ถ๐—ป ๐—ฎ๐—ฐ๐˜๐—ถ๐˜ƒ๐—ฒ ๐—ฟ๐—ฒ๐—ฐ๐—ผ๐˜ƒ๐—ฒ๐—ฟ๐˜† ๐—ณ๐—ผ๐—ฟ ๐˜€๐—ฒ๐—ฎ๐˜€๐—ผ๐—ป 3 ๐—ณ๐—ผ๐—ฟ ๐˜€๐—ถ๐˜-๐—ฑ๐—ผ๐˜„๐—ป, ๐—ฐ๐—ผ๐—ป๐˜ƒ๐—ฒ๐—ฟ๐˜€๐—ฎ๐˜๐—ถ๐—ผ๐—ป๐—ฎ๐—น ๐—ฒ๐—ฝ๐—ถ๐˜€๐—ผ๐—ฑ๐—ฒ๐˜€ ๐˜๐—ผ ๐˜€๐—ต๐—ฎ๐—ฟ๐—ฒ ๐˜๐—ต๐—ฒ๐—ถ๐—ฟ ๐—ท๐—ผ๐˜‚๐—ฟ๐—ป๐—ฒ๐˜† ๐˜๐—ต๐—ฟ๐—ผ๐˜‚๐—ด๐—ต ๐—ฎ๐—ฑ๐—ฑ๐—ถ๐—ฐ๐˜๐—ถ๐—ผ๐—ป ๐—ฎ๐—ป๐—ฑ ๐—ถ๐—ป๐˜๐—ผ ๐˜€๐—ผ๐—ฏ๐—ฟ๐—ถ๐—ฒ๐˜๐˜†. *๐—ฌ๐—ผ๐˜‚ ๐—–๐—”๐—ก ๐—ฟ๐—ฒ๐—บ๐—ฎ๐—ถ๐—ป ๐—ฑ๐—ถ๐˜€๐—ฐ๐—ฟ๐—ฒ๐—ฒ๐˜ ๐—ฎ๐—ป๐—ฑ ๐˜„๐—ถ๐—น๐—น ๐—ฟ๐—ฒ๐—ฐ๐—ถ๐—ฒ๐˜ƒ๐—ฒ ๐—ฎ ๐—ณ๐—ผ๐—ฟ๐—บ๐—ฎ๐—น, ๐—ป๐—ผ๐˜๐—ฎ๐—ฟ๐—ถ๐˜‡๐—ฒ๐—ฑ, ๐—ฎ๐—ป๐—ฑ ๐—น๐—ฒ๐—ด๐—ฎ๐—น๐—น๐˜† ๐—ฏ๐—ถ๐—ป๐—ฑ๐—ถ๐—ป๐—ด ๐—ก๐——๐—” ๐—ฐ๐—ผ๐—ป๐˜๐—ฟ๐—ฎ๐—ฐ๐˜ ๐—ฝ๐—ฟ๐—ผ๐˜๐—ฒ๐—ฐ๐˜๐—ถ๐—ป๐—ด ๐˜†๐—ผ๐˜‚๐—ฟ ๐—ฝ๐—ฒ๐—ฎ๐—ฐ๐—ฒ ๐—ผ๐—ณ ๐—บ๐—ถ๐—ป๐—ฑ ๐—ฎ๐—ป๐—ฑ ๐—ถ๐—ฑ๐—ฒ๐—ป๐˜๐—ถ๐˜๐˜† ๐—ผ๐—ป ๐—ฎ๐—ถ๐—ฟ* ๐—ฆ๐—˜๐—ก๐—— ๐—จ๐—ฆ ๐—”๐—ก ๐—˜๐— ๐—”๐—œ๐—Ÿ ๐˜๐—ผ ๐—ฏ๐—ฒ๐—ฐ๐—ผ๐—บ๐—ฒ ๐—ฎ ๐—ด๐˜‚๐—ฒ๐˜€๐˜: ๐˜๐—ต๐—ฒ๐—ฟ๐—ฒ๐—ฎ๐—น๐—ฟ๐—ฒ๐—ฐ๐—ผ๐˜ƒ๐—ฒ๐—ฟ๐˜†๐—ฝ๐—ผ๐—ฑ@๐—ด๐—บ๐—ฎ๐—ถ๐—น.๐—ฐ๐—ผ๐—บ ๐’Šนplease donโ€™t let the fear of stigma stand between you and the inspiration of sharing your resilience. ๐’Šน ๐™๐™Š๐™‡๐™‡๐™Š๐™’ ๐™๐™Ž ๐™Š๐™‰ ๐™Ž๐™Š๐˜พ๐™„๐˜ผ๐™‡ ๐™ˆ๐™€๐˜ฟ๐™„๐˜ผ: ๐—ง๐—ถ๐—ธ๐—ง๐—ผ๐—ธ & ๐—œ๐—ป๐˜€๐˜๐—ฎ๐—ด๐—ฟ๐—ฎ๐—บ: @๐˜๐—ต๐—ฒ๐—ฟ๐—ฒ๐—ฎ๐—น๐—ฟ๐—ฒ๐—ฐ๐—ผ๐˜ƒ๐—ฒ๐—ฟ๐˜†๐—ฝ๐—ผ๐—ฑ๐—ฐ๐—ฎ๐˜€๐˜ FACT CHECK & RESEARCH: We cannot stress enough the significance of reliable, evidence supported, research. In a world where defaulting to a quick Google search is quid pro quo and social media echoes, the probability of harmful information being shared at rapid rates becomes compounded by the acute nature of followers to โ€œhit that share buttonโ€ without giving it much thought, let alone consideration to the truthfulness of what they share. This is how opinions become dangerous. Good News?
