In this episode of Relational Recovery, hosts Wes Thompson and Austin Hill dive into the complex nature of addiction, focusing on the idea of personal agency in recovery. They challenge the notion that labelling addiction as a disease might strip individuals of their power to make choices and change their behaviours. The conversation is peppered with real-life examples, including a discussion about a family member's struggle with compulsive eating and how different people have different triggers and addictions.
They also touch on the importance of recognising one's own story and history in the recovery process, rather than comparing oneself to others. The episode underscores the significance of taking responsibility for one's actions and making deliberate choices towards a healthier life. By the end, you'll have a deeper understanding of how personal agency plays a crucial role in overcoming addiction.
So, if you're ready to reflect on your own journey and find motivation to make positive changes, this episode is a must-listen.
