Well hello, my loves!   Thank you for downloading the podcast, my name is Arlina, and I’ll be your host.   For those of you who are new to recovery, books are one of the best investments you can make. Audiobooks are my jam, I have over 100 at the moment so there’s that. I actually have a link to Audible.com on the ODAATchat.com website, where you can get your first one free.    Also on the website is a loooong list of books that have changed my life - It’s listed at the top of the page under resources. The book currently blowing my hair back is: “Running On Empty” by Jonice Webb and Christine Musello. It’s about Childhood Emotional Neglect and how it affects your self-esteem and relationships, later in life.    By adding in audiobooks, you’re spending less time on any negative thoughts, literally edging them out, and replacing it with a positive thought. So get some books, and rewire your brain!   Today my guest is Brad Haber, Psychotherapist, Certified Addiction Professional, Certified in Clinical Hypnosis. I’m looking to add hypnotherapy to my personal development and that’s when I came across Brad Haber. I noticed that he specializes in helping people with addictions, which is really important to me, so I asked him to come on the podcast to talk about how hypnotherapy can help people overcome addiction and prevent relapse.    One last thing before we jump in, if you would, please leave a review on iTunes, it helps other people find the podcast and it’s a huge encouragement for me as well.   So without further ado, please enjoy this conversation, with Brad
