Real Addiction Talk

In our newest episode of Real Addiction Talk, we explore the five rules of recovery, talk about the different types of relapses, and discuss the difference between “lapse” and a “relapse”. Hope you enjoy it and don’t forget to subscribe to our podcast!
5 Rules:
1. Create a new life where it’s easier to not use
2. Ask for help and develop a recovery circle
3. Be completely honest with yourself and everybody in your recovery circle
4. Practice Self-Care
5. Don’t try to negotiate your recovery

We’re proud to announce that our third episode is now available on your favorite podcasting platform! On this episode, we discuss the stages of change which was developed in the 1980’s by Prochaska and DiClemente. Although this was a new way of thinking about how to track one’s progress while in recovery forty years ago, it is still very much relevant today in most treatment centers across the country.

On this episode, we talk about the disease concept of addiction. We highlight the following main points: what is a disease, the four main factors of a disease, comparing addiction to other disease, the stages of addiction, signs/symptoms, triggering the disease, and how genetics/environmental factors plays a crucial role.
