Stop Addiction: Change Your Environment, Not Just Yourself

from Substance Stories · host Meducate

Think addiction recovery is all about willpower and changing yourself? Your brain disagrees. New neuroscience research shows that 73% of relapse occurs not because of personal failure, but because we're fighting our environment with our prefrontal cortex tied behind our back. The most powerful predictor of sustained recovery isn't motivation or mindset — it's actually something happening outside your skull. And by the end of this podcast, you'll understand exactly why changing your ZIP code might be more important than changing your mindset.
