SomeBuddies Podcast Episode 6 | Addiction, Relapse, Importance of Network & Entrepreneurship in 2020

SomeBuddies Podcast is here again with a brand new episode of Addiction, Relapse, Importance of Network & Entrepreneurship in 2020!
For people who have navigated the rough waters of addiction and achieved hard-won sobriety, relapse seems like something to be avoided at all costs. Drug and alcohol treatment centers and rehabs go to great lengths to help clients prevent relapse, but despite all good intentions, the National Institute for Drug Abuse (NIDA), estimates a relapse rate of 40 to 50 percent. Some people relapse more than once.
There’s no doubt that relapse is difficult for everybody, including friends and family who have finally begun to relax after months or years of worry, fear, and turmoil over their loved one’s addiction. However, relapse is a powerful experience and when addressed therapeutically, can be a powerful part of the healing process. The key is to take the right action when relapse happens.
As strange as it may sound, people who attain long-term sobriety often say it was necessary to go through relapse to learn important lessons going forward. A relapse demonstrates the serious, progressive nature of addiction and provides an opportunity to determine what changes must be made, to identify triggers and learn better-coping skills. Many people emerge with a stronger commitment to recovery and are ultimately grateful for the relapse.
Addiction is a complex condition that's broadly viewed as a compulsive engagement in rewarding stimuli. Someone addicted to drugs or alcohol may be seeking a certain high, relaxation or oblivion. And if it's possible for someone to be "addicted" to entrepreneurship, the compulsion could ostensibly be to chase that next venture regardless of past failures, damage to relationships or financial ruin.
In addition to addiction, the results of a study performed at the University of San Francisco by researcher Michael A. Freeman suggested that almost half of entrepreneurs experienced at least one form of mental health condition during their lifetime. This research documented that when comparing startup founders to the general population, they could potentially be:
Twice as likely to suffer from depression
Six times more likely to suffer from ADHD
Three times more likely to suffer from substance abuse
10 times more likely to suffer from bipolar disorder
Twice as likely to have experienced a psychiatric hospitalization
Twice as likely to have suicidal thoughts
Many people, among them some entrepreneurs, struggle with these issues, and it's important to reach out for help.
