Episode #229: Breaking The Chains of Addiction W/Zack Nielson

One of the things that is affecting our society today is addiction and statistics say if there is not someone in your family that struggles with addiction then you know someone who is. It drives many of today's social ills such as Divorce, Crime, Neglect, Parent and Child Conflict, Poverty, and even Modern-Day Slavery. On this episode I have Zack Nielson on the podcast. I had Zack on the podcast just a few weeks back. One of things that Zack is passionate about is helping others overcome and heal from addiction and he does this by volunteering at a local support group. During the course of our conversation Zack and I cover how he came to be associated with the program helping folks overcome addiction, the physiology of addiction, what type of triggers exist that causes relapses and addictive behavior, the difference between guilt and shame, how the program that Zack volunteers at works, the principles that have proven to help people overcome addiction, and how the Savior and His Atonement works in helping folks overcome their pain and addiction.
