Sind Süchtige willensschwach? Sucht verstehen und besiegen | mit Gaby Guzek

The Myth of a Lack of Willpower: How Addiction Develops in the Brain and How We Overcome It. Gaby Guzek is a coach for alcoholics and a medical journalist. In this episode, she explains the impact addictive substances like alcohol, nicotine, and even the internet have on our neurotransmitters and how they can disrupt the balance of these systems. It's important to Gaby that addiction is a neurobiological phenomenon deeply rooted in our brains and does not result from character weaknesses or a lack of willpower. Raising awareness about this and the various addictions can provide enormous relief for those affected and be crucial for the path to recovery. "The most important thing is to get help," says Gaby Guzek. And a first step is to engage with the stories of others, recognize your own patterns, and exchange ideas. Gaby and her husband's free and anonymous forum also serves this purpose: "Alkohol adé: Leichter raus aus der Drogen" (Goodbye Alcohol: Easier Ways to Get Out of Addiction) https://www.alkohol-ade.com/ Gaby Guzek has been a scientific and medical journalist for over 30 years.
