040: Why Everything Society Tells Us About Addiction Is Wrong // Cory Martin (The Recovery Revolution)

The Curious One

This episode was quite a powerful one for me.

For the past few months I have been trying to learn more about addiction - the history of how our society views addiction, uncovering the false information that built the foundation of our ideas around it, what addiction truly is, the factors that are in place that lead one to addiction, places in the world that are going against the grain and making positive change for addicts and how we view addiction, etc.

This lead to me to Cory and the work that she is doing with The Recovery Revolution.

The Recovery Revolution's mission is to unify those suffering from addiction with their families and loved ones, and to provide functional, personal, and medically sound solutions for the families and loved ones of those struggling with substance abuse.

During our conversation Cory shared:

• what is The Recovery Revolution & how it began
• Cory shared with me a bit about her own journey with addiction / recovery
• the opposite of addiction is connection
• why we need to change our mindset on mental health and addiction
• addiction = adaptation
• the effect our culture has on relationships & addiction
• advice Cory would give to someone who is supporting a loved one who struggles with addiction
• further resources

and more!
