Why won’t you just quit? For families, friends, and loved ones of those in addiction, this question is often asked. Therapist, Dennis Woodruff, helps answer this question by explaining the purpose of the midbrain and prefrontal cortex and how they are affected by addiction. He also discusses the importance of separating the behavior from the person and boundaries.
Episode Song:
My Mind Is My Enemy by Praga Khan
Lyrics
I Like To Pretend That Nothing Has Changed
But All I Ever Loved You Just Took It Away
There’s A Knife In My Chest
I Go To Sleep But Not To Rest
What Was Once Will Never Be
Past Looks Better Than Reality
It’s Like A War Inside Of Me
When My Mind Becomes My Enemy
My Mind Is My Enemy
Used And Abused By So Called Friends
It’s Hard To Accept You’re One Of Them
You Took It All, What Was Left Of Me
My Pride, Respect, My Dignity
You Killed Me Once, Now You Kill Me Again
It’s Tough For Me To Understand
It’s Like A Warzone, Deep Inside Of Me
When My Mind Becomes My Enemy
My Mind Is My Enemy
I Close My Eyes Out Of Desperation
My Soul Is Praying For Salvation
Let Me Fade Away Into An Endless Sleep
There Will Be No One Left To Weep
A One Way Needle To The Stars
Where I Can Find Peace In My Users Heart
It’s Like A War Inside Of Me
When My Mind Becomes My Enemy
