Addiction Unlocked: The Brain Science Behind Recovery


Listen Later

Addiction is not a moral failing—it’s a brain disease. And recovery isn’t just possible, it’s powerful.

In this keynote at the historic Ridglea Theatre in Fort Worth, Texas—delivered to addiction treatment professionals during a fundraiser for Gemini Recovery Community—Gary K shares the raw truth about addiction, recovery, and the brain science that explains why people can’t “just stop.”

With over 29 years in long-term recovery, Gary combines personal experience, education, and humor to break down the stigma around addiction. He reveals how spiritual action changes brain function, why untreated alcoholism is deadly, and what real solutions exist for those struggling and their families.

This talk is a must-watch for treatment professionals, families, and anyone who wants to understand the reality of addiction and the hope of recovery. 📖 Learn more in Gary’s book Walk the Talk with Step 12: https://www.hazelden.org/store/item/395140?Walk-the-Talk-with-Step-12
