Sometimes there does need to be a bridge replacement...there's a part of them that longs for The Good Old Days that they might think about it once in a while and be like I just don't do that anymore.
Imagine trying to break free from a substance use habit and finding out that the activities you choose can make all the difference. That's exactly what Michelle Dunbar and Mark Scheeren, co-developers of The Freedom Model, discuss in this episode titled 'Bridging the Gap While Making a Preference Change'. They dive into the idea that addiction isn't a lifelong sentence but a temporary issue that can be tackled by rethinking your preferences and engaging in different activities.
Michelle and Mark share their personal journeys, offering a refreshing take on addiction recovery that moves away from traditional rehab and 12-step programs. Instead, they advocate for personal choice and responsibility, suggesting that the key to overcoming addiction lies in challenging your beliefs about substance use. They also highlight the temporary benefits of replacing your substance of choice with other fulfilling activities.
If you're tired of the same old recovery narratives and looking for a new approach, this episode might just be what you need. Tune in to hear real stories and practical advice on how to live a happier, substance-free life.
