Welcome back to our 101 deep dive on addiction where we’re discussing the causes, cures and potential superpowers of this incredibly common mental disorder.

In part one we talked about the neuroscience behind why drugs and behaviours can hijack our brains in the first place and in this episode, we cover:

- How you can actually fight some drug addictions with other drugs

- Why 12-Step programs like AA are so powerful

- How willpower doesn’t work (and what we should do instead of white-knuckling)

- Healthy habits that help with addiction

- Sitting with our pain rather than trying to escape from it (Acceptance & Commitment Therapy)

- And the superpower addicts possess.

Thanks so much for being here and we really hope you enjoy.
