Recognizing Addiction In Loved Ones

Are you habitually day drinking, night drinking, and it's shot o'clock drinking? You are not alone, friend! The United States ranks fourth in the world in alcohol consumption behind Australia, Denmark, and Japan. According to the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism, over 14 million Americans ages 12 and up currently struggle with alcohol use disorder. Struggling with alcoholism for a long time can lead to health consequences like heart disease or even early death if not treated. Nick Javas overcame alcohol and drug use disorder that started at a very young age. Now, he specializes in helping others find their path to sobriety. Since 2008, Nick has worked as a sober coach with people in recovery from all walks of life, all over the world. From Israel to Indiana, from rock stars to rock-bottom junkies. He says he has always been fascinated by what makes people tick, and what makes people successful in their own life. Today, he is on a never-ending hunt for tools and insights that change people’s lives.    Notable quotes in this episode: "Recovery simply means healing. All of us are healing from something" and "The antidote to relapse is growth."   In this episode, Nick and Dr. mOe discuss the following topics: alcohol use disorder, substance abuse, and misuse, why people relapse, surprising types of addiction, addiction in teenagers, and the role of recovery coaches.    Connect with Nick and learn more on his website https://www.nickjavas.co/ Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/perpetual-moetion-with-dr-moe-anderson--5831364/support.
