Ever felt like recovery is a mountain that's just too steep to climb? You're not alone. In this powerful episode of The Addicted Mind Podcast, host Duane Osterlind tackles the most damaging myths that keep people trapped in cycles of addiction and shame. Drawing inspiration from Johan Hari's profound insight that "the opposite of addiction isn't just sobriety, it's connection," Duane explores how recovery isn't about perfect willpower or never making mistakes – it's about reconnecting with yourself, your values, and others who support your journey. Whether you're feeling stuck, overwhelmed by shame, or convinced you're "too broken" to heal, this episode offers a compassionate roadmap forward. Duane breaks down six harmful myths that create invisible barriers to recovery and provides practical strategies to move beyond them. You'll discover why slip-ups aren't total failures but opportunities for growth, why your addiction doesn't define your identity, and why the trust you think you've permanently lost can actually be rebuilt over time. Most importantly, you'll learn that healing isn't linear – it moves in waves, with highs and lows that are all part of the journey. Through challenging negative thinking patterns, reconnecting with your values, developing healthy coping strategies, and practicing self-compassion, you can rewrite your recovery story. The path isn't about perfection or living up to others' expectations; it's about choosing actions that align with your values each day, even in small steps. As Duane reminds us, recovery is possible for everyone. Your story is still being written, and it has the potential to unfold in ways you can't yet imagine. This episode includes a downloadable worksheet to help you identify and rewrite the myths holding you back on your journey to healing and connection.

I start by describing how podcast guest Carl Erik Fisher, author of bestseller The Urge, reviewed my upcoming book Sustainability Simplified as a subject matter expert on addiction. Carl mentioned how my book suffered from what Bruce describes as the demon drug myth. He pointed to Bruce's work as seminal, so I started reading it.I'd heard of Rat Park and later remembered Johan Hari mentioning Bruce in his TED talk where he said "the opposite of addiction is community". I couldn't wait to talk to Bruce. Carl introduced us. We spoke. Bruce clarified the demon drug myth. I described how addiction and doof figure in my sustainability leadership work.In our conversation, Bruce described how working with self-described junkies in the early 1950s led him to reinterpret the common wisdom "proved" by experiments that some chemicals addicted people, end of story. He then described how he created Rat Park, which showed a lot more nuance and alternative explanations. You can read about Rat Park on Bruce's page or this comic book version, but his description in our conversation is engaging and thorough.Then he shares how people continue to stick with the old view of addiction and drugs. It's easy. It takes parents and others off the hook.He describes new views of addiction. You won't see addiction the same after. If you want to stop polluting and depleting yourself and help people you know and communities you are a member of, this conversation will change how you view it forever. You'll approach it with more understanding, empathy, and compassion.Bruce's home page, aka Bruce K. Alexander's Globalization of Addiction Website Hosted on Acast.

The art of focus in our modern worlds has become just that. An art.   With books like Johan Hari's Stolen Focus and past guest Dr Kristy Goodwin's, Dear Digital we need to talk, the constant disruption, distraction mulit-tasking and task switching that we are all succumbing to is impacting our ability to truly focus.   Add to this all the pressures and competing demands of daily life and we are quickly looking at fatigue, exhaustion and burnout.   And whilst the rise of flexible working has given us more freedom to design our days and work lives, it's a bit of a double edged sword. As many of us have relied on the routine, ritual and structure that our daily to commute has given to us to support our cognitive function and the daily need to “do our job”.   We now need to develop a new skill. The ability to distinguish what is worth our attention, to do this intentionally and then to be able to focus.   And that's what today's guest is here to share with us.   Angela Lockwood is on a mission. To empower individuals to thrive amidst the distraction of modern life.   As an Occupational Therapist with a wealth of real-world experience working alongside both children and adults, she has developed a unique approach to unlocking the power of our thinking and actions in ever-changing environments.   After sustaining a life-changing head injury she became obsessed with learning how we can use our time and energy to thrive and has focused her career on helping others do the same.   She is the author of two business self-help books, "The Power of Conscious Choice" and “Switch Off and Find Calm” and the engaging host of "A Kid's Life" Podcast.   She's been featured on Channel 9 Today EXTRA, The Australian Financial Review, Good Health magazine, Huffington Post, Mamamia, Radio 2UE and numerous parenting and lifestyle publications. She also has a regular segment on The Luke and Susie Show which is syndicated across Australia.   Angela has an infectious energy and she's highly relatable.   So in today's episode Ange and I are going to look at; Why the conversation about focus has become such a prevalent one Intentional Focus – what it means and how to manage it The importance of switching off The difference between time management and energy management Plus she's also sharing with us some tools to get us started   A great conversation on how to focus your attention on the things that really matter so that you have more energy for life!   LINKS Get your copy of Mel's new Book “The Next Workplace; Designing Dynamic Environments that Inspire Human Potential”   Connect with Angela; LinkedIn | Insta | Website   Connect with Mel; Email | Insta |

I actually recorded this episode many months ago, then left it and did nothing with it for ages. Which is ironic given in this ep we explore the idea that achieving things, changing behaviour and basically being human- is really, really hard. I'm human, just like you. I struggle to achieve what I want to achieve sometimes too- so let's explore this together. In this episode I talk about: Johan Hari's book Stolen Focus How the modern world is setting us up to fail in many ways when it comes to our attention and focus. How we can actually use the psychology of behaviour change to help us to do the things we want to do. Why self compassion (as I always say) is actually the basis for this cycle and what helps us to unlock our full potential. What is the 'first step' in changing behaviour?

22 min. Is there a pandemic crisis in attention control?  Johan Hari says there is.  It's a perfect storm of new technologies rapidly grabbing control of our attention.  Cell phone culture, streaming entertainment, work paradigms on-line, they all compete for our attention.  Maureen and Pierre discuss the crisis of attention disorder / control, possible solutions and new perspectives leading to optimism in the midst of crisis. If there is a crisis and we acknowledge that, how do we change ourselves? How do we change our culture. How do we take collective action?  Very interesting question from Johan Hari's podcast with Rich Roll. Hari says capitalism is fueling attention control disorder.  The business model of making money via clicks fuels more clicks, shorter edgier content.  Social media is so pervasive, should it be treated like a public utility?  Maybe social media should make money on a subscription model, or a regulated utility model?  The advertising model fueling attention control disorder through TikTok type content – reducing everything to memes of the moment might be causing societal health problems. Check it out.  A problem is raised and solutions are discussed.

Episode 365 – So Who Do I Connect With?   Today we have Joshua. He is 36 years old and from North Carolina. His last drink was on October 31, 2020.   https://kalabrand.com/   Highlights from Paul:   Happy Valentine's Day! The opposite of addiction is connection. Paul shares that reality is a mirror reflecting your inner world. The most important connection we have is the connection we have with ourselves. If we don't love, treat ourselves with respect or stand up for ourselves, that will appear in our outer world. Connecting with yourself allows you to become your own healer. Once your inner connection/relationship is healthy, that will be reflected in your external connections.   Paul recommends splitting your internal and external actions 50/50. Connect with yourself first (via meditation, journaling, yoga, etc.), then connect externally (Café RE chat, Marco Polo chat, a family member).   Johan Hari's Ted Talk https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PY9DcIMGxMs   BetterHelp: www.betterhelp.com/elevator   [10:45] Odette introduces Joshua   Joshua is from North Carolina, loves music, and works as an optician.    “Should” never helped Joshua quit drinking. Focusing on what he wanted from his life helped him shift his thinking and made an alcohol-free life possible.    Joshua's first drink was a Zima at a party in high school. He was generally a good kid and had a strong desire to belong.   He recognized that alcohol did something for him early on before it did something to him. The first time he recalls getting drunk, he felt a euphoric escape. Alcohol was liberating and medicating. In college, a sneakiness appeared in his drinking. He wasn't aware of alcohol being problematic until 2014.   After divorcing, pent-up resentments led to accelerated drinking for Joshua. His drinking progressed. He attended his first AA meeting in 2017. After several false starts, AA helped him get 18 months of continuous sobriety. He stopped working his program and returned to drinking. He began to observe his drinking, and by Halloween, a dream helped him realize he wanted to be his best, and alcohol wasn't part of that vision.   Joshua credits AA for helping him and describes AA as binary; he has a realistic view of their history and acknowledges that many options are available for recovery today.     Therapy helped him with harm reduction and to be less black and white. Josh says quitting alcohol is hard, but the complications of drinking make your life exponentially harder. He is happier, more grateful, and knows the perceived benefits of alcohol were a lie. Life still has its ups and downs, which are easier to manage.   Odette's final thoughts:   You are enough. You are everything you need. You are loved. You are worthy. You are whole and complete, and you deserve a peaceful life.    Upcoming events, retreats, and courses:   You can find more information about our events    Sponsors:   BetterHelp: www.betterhelp.com/elevator   Affiliate Link for Amazon: Shop via Amazon using this link.   The book, Alcohol is SH!T, is out. Pick up your paperback copy on Amazon here! You can get the Audible version here!     Resources:  Connect with Cafe RE - Use the promo code OPPORTUNITY to waive the set-up fee.

Johann Hari is well known as the author of international bestsellers Chasing the Scream about the failure of the so-called war on drugs and Lost Connections, which explores depression, anxiety and the importance of social connection in our lives. Lost Connections was described by the British Journal of General Practice as “one of the most important texts of recent years”, and shortlisted for an award by the British Medical Association. Johann's latest book Stolen Focus ‘why you can't pay attention' uncovers the reasons behind our shortening attention spans and how we can start to reclaim our focus, our minds, and our humanity. The book is creating a huge stir globally and has attracted praise from reviewers and people such as Eve Ensler, Stephen Fry, Susan Cain, Emma Thompson, and Gabor Mate. Johann has had tens of millions views of his two TED talks  ‘Everything You Think You Know About Addiction is Wrong' and ‘This Could Be Why You Are Depressed or Anxious'. He is also an award-winning journalist and he has written over the past decade for some of the world's leading newspapers and magazines, including the New York Times, the Los Angeles Times, the Guardian, the Spectator, Le Monde, the Melbourne Age, and Politico. He is a regular panellist on HBO's Realtime With Bill Maher. I first met Johann back in November 2018 in Dublin when he was on tour with Lost Connections. You can listen to my conversation with him in the archives of this podcast so consider that as a listen for after you listen to this one. It was great to talk to Johann again recently and I was really struck by his clarity of thought and his passion for change is one of the most important issues of our time. I'd encourage you to give this episode your full attention, and indeed your full focus, and please share this episode far and wide. Also please consider rating and reviewing the Love and Courage podcast, subscribing through your app to receive updates, and chipping in as a once off or monthly patron at LoveandCourage.org. You support helps me bring important voices like Johann's to the world.

We (Josh and Has) start the episode by reviewing the year so far into January before heading into the topic of focus, a subject we're both reading a book by Johan Hari about. We talk about the newest dragon on Dragon's Den, Steven Bartlett and how he's making a splash and disrupting things. Inevitably - we move into 'partygate' (how could we not??) and we talk about the drivers behind their behaviour. This leads to a really powerful discussion about the addictive nature of power. We hope you enjoy it.

In this third part of my series on addiction, I tackle the question of why some foods are just so addictive….or as I want to rephrase it, just why is it so easy to feel compulsive about certain foodstuffs? *Brilliant Idea of The Week* is Focusmate. Find out more at https://www.focusmate.com/   *Main section* Just exactly why are some foods are just so addictive is actually 2 questions: #1 What is it about some particular foods (their ingredients, the way they are processed etc) that can encourage compulsion? ....and #2 Why do we feel compulsive about some foods in the first place? Why do human beings feel they need to manage problems with food at all? #2 is a more empowering question, because it turns us from passive victims into responsible beings with the power to change our lives. "A core part of addiction is, I think, about not being able to bear to be present in your life" ~ Johan Hari Many people don't believe that they can manage their overwhelm and shame - but they CAN.   RESOURCES Find out more about coaching at http://www.theshiftinside.com/coaching/ Episode 17: http://www.theshiftinside.com/whats-wrong-with-calorie-counting/ Johan Hari's TED Talk: https://www.ted.com/talks/johann_hari_everything_you_think_you_know_about_addiction_is_wrong Episode 4: http://www.theshiftinside.com/audio-how-sugar-hijacks-your-brain/ Sound effects by https://www.zapsplat.com

However I am pretty sure that if I was to ask you which part of Sober Spring Challenge was most helpful you would say the WhatsApp group. Connection is the opposite of addiction (so says Johan Hari in his awesome TED talk Many of us begin drinking in an effort to socialize with others but eventually it can escalate to the point where we are turning down social invitations because we would rather stay at home alone with our bottle of wine – which is fast becoming our “best friend”! That's why this journey brings many people out of self imposed “isolation” towards deep and meaningful connections with a completely new crowd of people. We begin our workshops with “shares' and I am always humbled by how people open their hearts to a bunch of strangers about just how unhappy alcohol is making them. This Sober Challenge has been a bit like a mini on-line workshop as you have all been so open about your own struggles and supportive of each other.  In the “old days” you either had a drink problem and sat in a church basement saying “I am an alcoholic” every week – or you were fine. These days alcoholism has finally been recognized as a “spectrum” – with millions of us residing somewhere between being “fine” or being a serious “alcoholic” There are now a myriad of choices to change your relationship with alcohol and World Without Wine is just one of them –thank you for choosing to do this Sober Challenge with us!     If you're enjoying the challenge and would like to change your relationship with alcohol then please think about joining our community HERE Monthly membership is just R85 (£4/$5)    Or just check out our website - https://www.tribesober.com Any questions? - drop us a mail at membership@tribesober.com   The Sober Spring Challenge is sponsored by Drink Nil, South Africa's first store to  specialize in alcohol-free drinks.  Browse their huge selection of non-alcoholic wines, bubblies, spirits, beers and mocktails online, at drinknil.co.za.

In this episode, we discuss mental health. This episode is loosely based on Johan Hari's book, Lost Connections. We discuss some of the reasons why so many people have anxiety and depression nowadays. Some of those reasons include feeling disconnected to the natural world, not feeling like the future is secure, not finding meaning in your work, and not having a community. We wanted the episode to be more positive though, so we also offered solutions. We talk about how to find or create communities, how even small amounts of nature can increase our happiness, and we offer tips on how to make work and the future a more happy, secure place. There is so much to talk about, and the episode couldn't be too long, so if you want to hear more about this topic, please let us know. It might be possible to cover in a future episode.

Addiction has effected all of us in one way or another. Either ourselves or a friend, family member or an indirect interaction with someone addicted to something. Do we really know all there is to know when it comes to addition or is there a possible solution that the main stream understating has yet to embrace? This week we will discus the work of Johan Hari and Bruce Anderson. The implications of their research and perception could change everything we think we know about the devil that is addition. 

We interviewed Drew's close friend Sway about addiction and recovery. Discuss Johan Hari and his book "The War on Drugs"  & some of his stories with other addiction specialist. We hope you enjoy and thank you for listening and leaving reviews on Apple Podcast! We really appreciate it!

Here's a shocking statistic: If you receive a regular income from property you own, you are ten times less likely to develop an anxiety disorder than if you don't get any income from property. Did you know that? I didn't. Johan Hari explains in his latest book Lost Connections that having passive income coming in is not just a financially smart, but a healthy choice as well. This only further compounds my goal to help families break the cycle of financial insecurity by offering income-producing investment opportunities.

Zach and Jess talk about Ayahuasca and how it may be helpful in some cases of anxiety and depression. They also talk extensively about Johan Hari's book about anxiety and depression "Lost Connections".

CAUTION ADVISED: this podcast contains swearing and themes of an adult nature.This week, I continue the conversation with the inspirational Johann Hari, who shares insights from his forty-thousand-mile journey across the world to interview the leading experts about what causes depression and anxiety, and what solves them. But it was not those experts that taught Johann the most, it was the incredible people of a Berlin district called Kotti – he shares the heart-warming story of how an unlikely community was borne out of desperation and the unbelievable transformations that occurred for the whole community as a result of it. We discuss how our isolated lives mean that our basic psychological needs are not being met and how this is impacting suicide rates, particularly for white males. We delve into how a dramatic change in societal ideals is leading to more unhappiness. Also, how people are turning to screens, social media and other addictions to fulfill their unmet needs. Finally, Johann shares some truly inspirational top tips. This really is a captivating and incredibly important conversation – I hope you enjoy it! My new book, ‘The Stress Solution’ contains lots of practical solutions to help you with many of the issues discussed in this podcast. It is available to order on Amazon now.*Please note: this podcast contains swearing and themes of an adult nature.Show notes available at drchatterjee.com/52Follow me on instagram.com/drchatterjee/Follow me on facebook.com/DrChatterjee/Follow me on twitter.com/drchatterjeeukDISCLAIMER: The content in the podcast and on this webpage is not intended to constitute or be a substitute for professional medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment.

Barry McDonagh is the creator of the Panic Away Program and author of the book DARE. A native of Ireland, he focuses to help people win against panic attacks and be free from anxiety as well as depression. In this episode, Barry and Tom begin by sharing their thoughts on the modern world and how there seems to be a lost connection of community, akin to Johan Hari's work in his latest book, ‘Lost Connections'. The boys then take their conversation back towards the power of Barry's DARE response and how these exposing methods really can work wonders against the emotion of anxiety. This is a fantastic conversation, a great catch up for Barry and Tom and we really think you guys will love it!

In our most shambolic episode yet, we discuss Pablo Gomez Jr., the first non binary murderer we’ve covered on the podcast, and the way this case blew up in the right wing press because it was committed by a non binary POC and happened at UC Berkeley. We also discuss our experiences with every single antidepressant and why being medicated for your mental health problems can be the bomb dot com, Elena challenges Johan Hari to a fight in their car park, Jo starts actually crying over a video from BBC’s Big Cats, and if you listen all the way to the end (1:33:17) there’s a bonus 6 minute (edited down considerably) digression in praise of watersports, the song waterfalls by TLC and doing kink stuff whilst in hysterics. CONTENT NOTES: discussions of menstruation and related mess, surgery, bad consent practice, brief negative body self chat, drugs and alcohol chat (surgery related and recreational + we have some wine), transphobia from right wing / neo nazi media outlets and Jo’s terrible GP, and of course murder + attempted murder by stabbing. We also discuss mental health problems, including our own mental health and experiences with different medications, we know we say our GPs don’t know shit but obviously neither do we so don’t take our meds opinions too seriously and hit us up if you wanna read the google doc

1:25 Today is the deadline for submitting comments to the FDA regarding the NNN content of smokeless tobacco. http://cqrcengage.com/casaa/app/act-on-a-regulation?0&engagementId=373393 2:03 CASAA submitted their comment in no small part due to the efforts of Julie Woessner,Brian Carter and Alex Clark with an assist from Amelia Howard. 2:30 FDA promulgated a rule January 23 to restrict the level of NNN (N'-Nitrosonornicotine.) Brad Rodu and Carl Phillips break this down and show this is based on faulty math. http://rodutobaccotruth.blogspot.com/search?q=NNN https://antithrlies.com/2017/07/09/sunday-science-lesson-toxicology-and-the-chains-in-american-football/ 5:29 This isn't a chemical that is added to any tobacco product,this is a naturally occuring substance. 8:04 Our comment http://casaa.org/news/casaa-submits-comment-on-fdas-smokeless-tobacco-standards-rule/ 8:32 This rule was rushed at the very end of the Obama administrations tenure. 9:30 A point made by Brian Fotik from the Reason Foundation which should not be overlooked in this mess is that within hours of the rule being published there were comments from the AAP,ACSCAN,AHA,ALA,CFTFK and Truth Initiative. 12:47 What the public thinks it knows about smokeless tobacco is not the entire truth of the subject at all. What we know is based on data that is not exclusive to smokeless moist snuff. 16:14 The same misinformation campagin used against smokeless tobacco is the one being used against vaping as well. 17:30 With a very heavy asist from Atakan Befrits board member http://INNCO.org and NNA Sweden,CASAA submitted a letter in support of the Swedish government to update evidence about the benefits of Swedish Snus. To add to this the NNN has been added to a court case in the European Court of Justice https://nnalliance.org/blog/165-update-on-the-challenge-to-the-ban-on-snus-next-step-the-european-court-of-justice challenging the snus ban in Europe. 22:16 A brief history of smokeless tobacco's ban in Europe appears in this book https://www.amazon.com/Art-Suppression-Pleasure-Panic-Prohibition/dp/0956226531 24:00 Sting Free Snus https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RDo4bbIzdv4 28:28 Alex Clark and Jule Wessoner will be in Washington DC at VTA Vape and The FDA confrence on July 18 and 19.
