In this episode, we're joined by Dr. John Kelly, one of the world's leading addiction researchers and founder of the Recovery Research Institute at Harvard Medical School, for a deep dive into the science behind what makes recovery possible, sustainable, and real. Dr. Kelly breaks down the difference between remission and recovery, shares what decades of research tells us about who gets better (spoiler: most people do) and unpacks the active ingredients that help people build lives they love. We also get into the language we use around addiction, why it matters more than you think, and what the latest science says about stigma, stages of change, and recovery capital. Whether you are in recovery, supporting someone who is, or working in the field — this episode is packed with hope, science, and practical insight. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 🔑 IN THIS EPISODE ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ • What recovery actually means — and how it's different from remission • Why 75% of people with substance use disorder do recover (and what that means for you) • The CHIME model: the 5 active ingredients of lasting recovery → Community | Hope | Identity | Meaning & Purpose | Empowerment • Stages of Change (Prochaska & DiClemente) — and why just thinking about change counts • Recovery Capital: what's in your \"recovery bank account\"? • The power of language — why words like \"abuser\" cause measurable harm • Stigma, genetics, and why addiction is nobody's fault • What excites Dr. Kelly most about the future of addiction research • Psychedelics and addiction treatment: cautious optimism from a Harvard researcher ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 👤 ABOUT OUR GUEST ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ John Kelly is the Elizabeth R.
