Is there a possibility within your mind that doing less, moderating, abstaining, or changing in some way is even a possibility for you?
Are you ready to challenge everything you thought you knew about addiction? In this eye-opening episode of The Freedom Model For Addictions, hosts Michelle Dunbar and Mark Sheeran tackle the myths and misconceptions surrounding addiction and recovery. They argue that addiction isn't a disease and that traditional treatment methods might actually hinder your progress.
Instead, they advocate for a radical shift in perspective, encouraging you to question the power you've given to substances or behaviours and explore the possibility of change. Through engaging discussions and real-life examples, Michelle and Mark break down the idea that you're powerless over your addiction. They emphasise the importance of understanding your reasons for substance use and recognising that you have control over your choices.
The episode delves into how societal norms and cultural biases can shape your beliefs about addiction, often leading to confirmation bias where you only see evidence that supports your current beliefs. One standout moment is when they discuss the role of imagination and fantasy in addiction. Just as your mind creates a powerful narrative around your substance use, it also holds the key to dismantling that narrative and building a new, healthier script for your life.
Whether you're struggling with alcohol, drugs, or behavioural addictions like pornography, this episode offers a fresh perspective and practical advice for taking control of your life. So, are you truly open to change? Tune in to find out how you can rewrite your script and embrace a future free from addiction.
