The Anatomy of Addiction: Denial, Codependency & the Power of Prayer (AMA) | 530 | Luke Storey
Today's AMA episode is close to my heart as we dive deep into addiction and addiction recovery – a journey, as you well know, that I'm intimately familiar with. We unpack the complexities of addiction, which I define as a condition where we persist in harmful behaviors despite being fully aware of the negative impacts on our lives and those we love. It's not just about seeking pleasure or avoiding pain; it's about being trapped in a cycle that we feel powerless to break.
In this episode with my producer Bailey, I address questions from the community to explore the anatomy of addiction, starting with the critical role of denial and codependency. We discuss the nuances within the different levels and types of addiction, the role of support systems, and how to confront enabling behaviors within our relationships. We also discuss how addiction affects family dynamics and why recovery groups can be incredibly effective.
I talk about the progression of addiction, even in periods of abstinence, and share what keeps me away from any temptation to relapse. Lastly, I open up about my personal recovery journey, sharing insights from the 12-step program that have been crucial in my healing – offering my heartfelt advice to those seeking solutions.
It's a tough journey, but there's a path to surrender in the transformative power of prayer and faith in the recovery process. For me, staying free of addiction is about being of service – it's the core of my daily life. If you're struggling with addiction or know someone who is, remember there is a tangible, achievable solution within you. This episode is a great place to start.
