In this episode of Sober Spill, Jana is joined by Dr. Lipi Roy, physician and addiction expert, to break down what addiction really is — and why so many people still misunderstand it. Addiction isn't about willpower - Dr. Lipi Roy explains how substance use disorder affects the brain, why shame and punishment don’t work, and what evidence-based recovery actually looks like. This conversation offers a clear, scientific, and compassionate look at addiction for anyone seeking a deeper, more accurate understanding of addiction and healing. Understanding it differently can save lives.  #SoberSpill #AddictionScience #SubstanceUseDisorder #RecoveryEducation #AddictionRecovery
