Addiction as a Disease

The podcast episode discusses addiction as a disease that affects millions of people. It explains how addiction is characterized by an obsession of the mind and an allergy of the body. The obsession leads individuals to constantly seek more of the addictive substance, even though they know it's detrimental to their well-being. The allergy aspect means that once the substance is consumed, the body craves more and wants an increased quantity. The episode emphasizes that addiction is not a choice or a sign of weakness but a neurobiological consequence that requires support systems such as 12-step meetings, therapy, and a community of like-minded individuals.
