Have you ever been told that to overcome addiction, you need to cut ties with friends, change jobs, or even leave your marriage? In this eye-opening episode of 'The Freedom Model for Addictions', hosts Mark Scheeren and Michelle Dunbar tackle this pervasive belief head-on. They question the idea that addiction is a disease requiring drastic life changes and argue for a more nuanced approach.
Drawing from their own experiences and extensive research, they debunk the myth that you need to overhaul your entire life to find freedom from substance use. Instead, they advocate for personal autonomy and informed decision-making as the keys to successful recovery. The episode also highlights the Move Past Addiction Masterclass, an hour-long online class designed to offer practical insights and effective strategies for overcoming addiction without resorting to traditional methods like rehab or 12-step programs.
By sharing personal stories and challenging conventional wisdom, Mark and Michelle aim to empower listeners to rethink their approach to recovery and consider alternatives that focus on individual choice and responsibility.
