Many people don't understand why or how other people become addicted to drugs. They may mistakenly think that those who use drugs lack moral principles or willpower and that they could stop their drug use simply by choosing to. In reality, drug addiction is a complex disease, and quitting usually takes more than good intentions or a strong will. Drugs change the brain in ways that make quitting hard, even for those who want to. This episode features a young man from The University of Sussex (England) who shares his journey on drug addiction and recovery. if you are looking to connect with the host Nokuthula Khwela, she is available on Instagram under the handle @unravelwithnokuthulakhwela, twitter @madamkhwela, Facebook is Nokuthula Khwela as well as Linkedin.
