When You Feel Like Giving Up

from Doc Jacques: Your Addiction Lifeguard Hosted by Dr. Jacques de Broekert

Send us Fan Mail In this episode of Doc Jacques: Your Addiction Lifeguard, we tackle the moment nobody likes to admit out loud—the quiet “I’m tired… I can’t do this anymore” phase of recovery. Doc Jacques breaks down why people drift, experiment, or fully surrender back to addiction, how stress, shame, trauma, isolation, and spiritual discouragement wear you down, and why the urge to quit is usually a longing for relief—not proof that you’ve failed. If you’re hanging by a thread, this is your reminder to be honest, reach for your lifelines, shrink the battle down to the next minute if you have to, and remember: thinking about quitting means you’re still in the fight.
