Aa has not worked for them, they don't like it, but they really continue to struggle, and there's not much worse than bouncing back and forth and running the moderation experiment, having it go horribly wrong.
Ever wondered if Alcoholics Anonymous (AA) is as effective as it claims to be? This episode of 'The Freedom Model for Addictions' takes a deep dive into the widely accepted but often misunderstood world of AA. Hosts Mark Scheeren and Michelle Dunbar pull back the curtain on the origins and effectiveness of this well-known program, challenging the notion that addiction is a lifelong disease.
They explore how AA's 12-step method, created without scientific backing, has become a staple in addiction recovery despite its questionable success rates. Through candid discussions, the hosts reveal the potential pitfalls of relying on external rituals and spiritual experiences for recovery. They emphasize the importance of personal choice and responsibility, urging listeners to find what truly works for them instead of bouncing between different recovery methods.
Whether you're skeptical about traditional recovery approaches or seeking new perspectives, this episode offers thought-provoking insights that could change the way you view addiction treatment.
