The Slow Erosion of Self – How Addiction Rewires You

Addiction doesn’t announce itself with a bang—it creeps in, reshaping your thoughts, choices, and identity so gradually that you don’t even realize what’s happening. One day, you're justifying small things, bending your values just a little, and before you know it, you're in the wreckage of a life you no longer recognize. It’s not about making one bad decision—it’s a slow shift, a survival mode that traps you in its cycle.

In this episode, we dive deep into the subtle ways addiction rewires your mind and behavior, how it distorts your sense of self, and—most importantly—how to take back what was lost. The truth is, no matter how far down the path you’ve gone, recovery is always possible. We’ll talk about peeling back the layers, rebuilding your integrity, and stepping into a future that isn’t controlled by addiction.
