Power Quotes From The Show
The Profound Effects Of Vagus Nerve Stimulation
How Xen Is Helping Recovering Addicts
"People who are recovering from addiction, wherever they're at in their journey, are constantly dealing with something that is typically much deeper than a substance. So, the dependency came based on some event or psychological illness or a situation that they're in and a lot of it is stress-related. Once somebody has been through a detox period, staying in line with what is the best way to maintain recovery takes a lot of work but intentional self interventions and having tools in their toolbox are really important. When you have a mood lift, even a little bit, then you stop seeking solutions and things to push the pain or sadness down because you feel okay and feeling okay is a lot better than feeling rotten." - Ami Brannon
