Why Your Brain Keeps Pulling You Back to Alcohol ?

from Cappy Hour Hosted by Sober Cappy

“I almost died… and I still went back to drinking.” That’s how powerful addiction can be. Alcohol addiction doesn’t start with the drink. It starts with the voice that tells you this time will be different. In this episode of Sober Cappy Podcast, I sit down with Chris Follari, who shares the reality of alcoholism and relapse after surviving open heart surgery and a stroke. We talk about: • The mental obsession behind alcohol addiction • Why relapse starts long before the first drink • Why people relapse after months or years sober • ADHD and addictive behavior • The role of isolation in recovery • Cross addiction after quitting alcohol • Recovery communities and therapy • Learning how to rebuild your life sober If you’ve ever struggled with alcohol, relapse or feeling trapped in unhealthy cycles, this conversation is for you! Topics covered: Sobriety, alcohol recovery, addiction psychology, ADHD symptoms, dopamine, compulsive behavior, recovery motivation, mental health awareness and emotional healing.
