Alex Hormozi on Battling Addiction #modernwisdom #overcomeaddiction #opioidepidemic

Key wellness / self-care / recovery strategies discussed

• Change your environment to break addiction loops

  • Recovery is harder when you remain around the same triggers and cues tied to the habit.
  • By shifting your surroundings, you reduce exposure to the signals that drive cravings and relapse.

• Target triggers rather than relying only on willpower

  • The core approach is to eliminate cue-related associations, which helps prevent the habit from being reactivated.

Stats highlighted (to support the argument)

• Vietnam-era heroin use among soldiers: ~25% tried heroin.
• U.S. clinic outcomes: 90% relapse → 10% long-term success rate.
• Reversal claim: Outcomes are argued to be better when people change context, rather than returning to an environment loaded with the same cues.
