33. The Addiction App - Can an app give you more power over your addiction?

Dr. Jason Giles is a medical doctor who helps people change their relationship with their addiction, including celebrities who share the common struggles of regular people. Overcoming his own addiction 20 years ago, Dr. Giles uses storytelling to describe his own experiences and how he works with others through addiction.
Dr. Giles says we need to change the language around addiction from being a “disease” to a “habit” because you can fight the addiction by replacing the habit. Though he understands this seems like a simplistic approach, he has 15 years experience in working in this field with a substantial background in medicine prior to specializing in addiction.
Using AI to help solve the social problem of addiction, Dr. Giles created an innovative app called VHAB to increase access to those who feel like they are risking their societal status by seeking help in the traditional model..
The app covers 3 pillars of rehab: education, community, accountability
