In this podcast, we take a deeper dive into the brain of the alcoholic and addict and review the importance of recovering one's spirituality as well.

We learn that:

  1. Science has identified certain regions of the brain that account for dysfunctional, alcoholic thinking, even when the addict or alcoholic is not using or drinking.
  2. In addition, this aspect of brain chemistry is closely aligned with short-term gratification, heedless to consequences, characteristic of alcoholics and addicts.
  3. Even a rational expert like Debra Jay understands that one's spiritual life becomes degraded when addiction enters one's life.
  4. Restoration of one's spirituality should be the major goal to recovering one's soul and one's life. That is the main goal of 12-step programs after the alcohol and drugs are put away for good.
