If being smart and if being tough, and if being moral or being good could fix addiction, you guys would have fixed it. But it literally is looking for the life we're made to have without having to pay the price of feeling fully or betraying our teachers who taught us that feelings were worthless.
Ever wondered why addiction feels like an unending cycle? Dr. Stephen Loyd and Chip Dodd are here to shed light on this complex issue in a thought-provoking episode of SeventyX7. They dive deep into the emotions of shame, fear, and grief, explaining how these feelings can trap us in addiction when we aren't living true to our biology and design.
Chip Dodd's book, 'Hope in the Age of Addiction', is highlighted as a must-read for anyone seeking a deeper understanding of these dynamics. Both experts agree that the current treatment model is flawed and that it's time for a significant change. They argue that addiction isn't a moral failing but rather a consequence of not aligning with our natural selves. Vulnerability, often seen as a weakness, is discussed as a crucial element for growth and breaking free from addiction.
The conversation also touches on the importance of reaching out for help and embracing our feelings to avoid falling into despair. If you're looking for new perspectives on addiction and practical advice for recovery, this episode offers a wealth of insights.
