Ep107) What's REALLY Causing the 85% Relapse Rate in Year One?
Update: 2024-12-28
Description
In Episode 107 of the Bulletproof Mindset podcast, we explore one of the most challenging aspects of addiction recovery: the staggering 85% relapse rate among cocaine users. Why is this drug so difficult to quit, even for those deeply committed to change?
Cocaine addiction rewires the brain's reward system, creating an intense cycle of cravings, euphoria, and withdrawal. But the story doesn't stop there. Environmental triggers, emotional vulnerabilities, and the lack of sustainable coping strategies all play critical roles in the relapse cycle.
In this episode, I break down the science of why cocaine addiction is so hard to overcome. We’ll examine:
- The neurochemical changes cocaine causes in the brain.
- Why emotional and environmental triggers are often underestimated in recovery.
- How traditional approaches might fail to address the full complexity of relapse.
Most importantly, I share practical strategies for breaking the cycle of addiction. Whether you’re in recovery or supporting someone who is, this episode will give you actionable insights to reduce the likelihood of relapse and help sustain long-term recovery.
Join me for this powerful discussion on overcoming one of the biggest challenges in addiction recovery and how we can work together to lower that 85% statistic, one step at a time.
