In this episode of The Freedom Model for Addictions, Mark Shearin and Michelle Dunbar tackle a controversial topic: Are we slaves to our biochemistry?

Instead, they believe that addiction is a temporary problem that can be overcome without the need for 12-step programmes or rehab.

They share personal stories and research to back up their claims, making a compelling case for free will and the power of the mind over matter. If you're tired of the traditional addiction recovery methods and looking for a fresh perspective, this episode is a must-listen.
