Main topic of the Show: 5 Addiction Lessons

Mental vs Physical Addiction

Physical finite, mental takes time Every day a choice Not just chemicals you consume (Meth, sugar, social media endorphins, helping, etc) When does it become addiction? When it runs you instead of you running it. Addressing root problems

If It Was Easy You Would Not Be Addicted

Every day choice = a grind Using food for emotional things  Sugar/chocolate Moderation vs not at all

The Change Must Come From Within—And Help Can Come From Without

Court orders Doing it for your spouse, child, etc Hitting Rock Bottom is different for everyone Speakers AA and other methods Support and boundaries

Forgiveness

The only forgiveness that matters is your own Focusing on faster resets Every day is a choice

Happiness and Enjoyment

Establishing new rewards systems Having fun in different ways (Bar story) Some stuff just wasn’t fun and you never realized it Rebuilding health (Mental and physical)
