Description
Gill discusses what increases our risk of relapsing. She explains how alcohol changes the brain to make it harder to not drink, so we’ll talk about changes to the reward center, how the brain communicates with itself, and how we are able to handle stress. You’ll learn how hope and the way you deal with things helps you stay sober too.
What to listen to next:
E26: Does the brain recover?
E42: Is relapse a part of recovery?
E46: Neuroplasticity helps us recover
