Summary
 In this episode, Dr. K addresses the neuroscience and psychology of overcoming addiction, challenging the viral myth that recovery is as simple as waking up one day and deciding "enough is enough". Citing classic neuroscience experiments like the Libet study, he explains why internal brain rewiring occurs long before conscious results emerge, meaning months of effort without immediate yield should not be mistaken for a lack of progress. He breaks down why lasting recovery relies on three essential pillars: finding a powerful competing interest, building alternate emotional regulation techniques to process negative feelings, and changing your physical environment to eliminate habitual triggers.
