About this listen

 In this episode, the speaker presents an in-depth look at addiction, emphasizing its complexity beyond common perceptions of drug or alcohol abuse. The speaker explains that addiction is not merely a physical issue but also profoundly impacts an individual's mental, emotional, and spiritual well-being. It details characteristics of addiction such as loss of control, obsession, compulsion, progression, tolerance, and withdrawal. The source underscores that addiction often stems from deeper issues and maladaptive coping mechanisms for unprocessed trauma or emotional discomfort, advocating for compassion rather than judgment. Finally, it outlines a path to recovery, highlighting the importance of acknowledging the problem, seeking holistic support through programs like Project Exodus, and understanding that recovery is a radical, ongoing, and personal responsibility.
