About this episode
Dr. Adi Jaffe knows firsthand what it means to hit rock bottom. Once struggling with addiction, he turned his life around, earning a Ph.D. in psychology and becoming a leading expert in addiction recovery. Now, he’s on a mission to challenge the way we think about addiction, offering a groundbreaking, stigma-free approach to healing. In this episode, we dive into his personal journey, the flaws in traditional recovery models, and his latest book, Unhooked: Free Yourself from Addiction Forever, which introduces a new way to break free from destructive cycles.
