Rethinking the 12 Steps: Mark Kelly and Skip Mozisek Tackle Tough Questions

I don't like that kind of shaming people for their addiction, because I do think that addiction is something that happens to us, it's not something that we consciously choose to do.
What happens when a controversial comment sparks a deep dive into one of the most debated aspects of addiction recovery? In this episode of 'The 14th Step', hosts Mark Kelly and Skip Mozisek tackle the heated topic of the 12 Steps' effectiveness. Prompted by an angry comment, Mark reads and thoughtfully responds, opening up a candid discussion on whether the 12 Steps are truly beneficial or just a bunch of nonsense.
The conversation goes beyond surface-level arguments, exploring personal choice in addiction and the crucial role of compassion and understanding in recovery. Mark emphasizes that addiction isn't something anyone chooses and highlights the need for humility and courage in the journey to sobriety. This episode is a must-listen for anyone interested in the complexities of addiction recovery, whether you're personally affected or supporting someone who is.
It's a blend of professional insights and heartfelt stories that challenge the stigma around addiction and advocate for a more compassionate approach.
