Why is quitting alcohol so hard, even when you know it’s hurting you? The answer lies in how alcohol affects the brain—and once you understand the science of addiction, you can start breaking free from its grip.
In this episode of the Quit Drinking Alcohol Podcast, we’re diving into the neuroscience behind addiction. Understanding how alcohol rewires your brain can help you reframe your struggles, release guilt, and create a plan for long-term success in sobriety.
What You’ll Learn in This Episode:
- How alcohol impacts the brain’s reward system and creates dependence.
- The cycle of addiction—and how to break free from it.
- Practical strategies for retraining your brain and building new habits.
I’ll also share how learning about the science of addiction changed my perspective on sobriety and gave me the tools to take control of my recovery.
