MENTAL HEALTH SERIES Episode 9: In this episode, Prof Grant
Schofield speaks with Lisa Burch, a PREKURE Health Coach and
substance misuse and addictions expert.

Grant and Lisa talk about Lisa's own battle with alcohol over
many decades as well as the thought patterns that people
struggling with addiction have. They cover the initial
hopelessness that comes with addiction as well as the learnings,
especially around neuro-plasticity, dopamine and how the brain
functions in regards to addictive substances. Lisa's story is
powerful, personal and real and shares a unique point of view of
someone who not only understands the latest research as a
certified Health Coach, but who also carries with her a lifetime
of lived experience.

"A third path opened up. I had 'dying' or 'miserable recovering
alcoholic' and then suddenly I had this little glimmer of hope
that actually, maybe there was another way. Maybe there's life
without alcohol. And I can do it, I can get there... And it was
tough you know, I had bad days. But certainly I knew I had gained
enough that there was no way I was ever, ever going to go back.
Life began to get progressively better." – Lisa Burch
