22. Addictions: What drugs ACTUALLY do to your brain

Hey kids welcome back! Ever been invited into a dark alley to try some drugs? Cool, us neither. But this week we are following up on our Addictions Study Study with more addictions research!

Today We Ask

1. What is the definition of addiction?
2. What is the difference between a habit and an addiction
3. What happens to the brain chemically with drug use?
4. Are people predisposed to addiction?
5. How effective, really, is the 12 step program?

We Also Talk About

• The best way to eat a banana
• What THE ROCK has to do with addiction
• Surprise step 13 in the 12 step program
• And SOS (http://www.sossobriety.org/)
  • P.S. SOS stands for “Secular Organizations for Sobriety”
