Rational Recovery: A Fresh Perspective on Addiction Treatment

In the new wave of sobriety we're sort of not recovered. I'm like, well, you're not an alcoholic anymore if you're not drinking. So I guess, no, I don't think that I will ever be recovered, but I do feel mostly recovered from drinking alcohol.
What if the path to sobriety didn't have to follow the traditional 12-step program? In this engaging episode of 'Seltzer Squad', hosts Kate Zander and Jes Valentine take a closer look at Rational Recovery, an alternative approach to addiction treatment that emphasizes self-efficacy and cognitive-behavioral therapy. Inspired by a mention on 'Midnight Mass', Kate and Jes dive deep into the principles of Rational Recovery, comparing it to the more familiar Alcoholics Anonymous (AA) model.
They explore the unique aspects of Rational Recovery, including its focus on individual responsibility and the potential benefits and drawbacks of self-treatment. Throughout the conversation, Kate and Jes share their own personal experiences with addiction and recovery, adding a heartfelt layer to the discussion. They also touch on the importance of community support and the societal impact of addiction, advocating for more personalized treatment options.
If you're curious about different methods for overcoming addiction or seeking new insights into recovery, this episode offers a thought-provoking and compassionate perspective.
