In this episode I'm joined by my son, Aaron as we talk about the science behind addiction.  Understanding the disease process of addiction can help to de-stigmatize addiction.  Addiction is a brain disease that creates chemical changes in the brain that lead to a loss of control over the use of alcohol or substances.  Addiction is not a lack of will power, strength or motivation, it is not a character flaw.  

I highly recommend the book entitled "Understanding Addiction: Know Science, No Stigma" by Dr. Chuck Smith and Dr. Jason Hunt.  

I have put together a free E-Book: The 5 Essential Keys to Finding Hope, Strength, and Courage: Reclaiming your life as you walk alongside your adult child in active addiction.   Send an email to:  [email protected] if you would like a copy.
