if you believe that alcohol really does this list of things that everybody says it does, right, it'll... the behavior you know of somebody who drinks under those beliefs is completely rational, based on what they believe. Yep, it's, and everything else that's so romantic is us, it's our belief.
Is it possible for those labeled as 'alcoholics' and 'addicts' to drink normally or in moderation? This question sparks a lively discussion in this episode of The Addiction Solution Podcast. Hosts Mark Scheeren, Michelle Dunbar, and Steven Slate, co-authors of The Freedom Model for Addictions, tackle this controversial topic head-on. They challenge the widely held belief that addiction is a disease and scrutinize the effectiveness of 12-step programs like Alcoholics Anonymous.
Instead of promoting fear-based abstinence, they advocate for happiness and moderation as keys to overcoming addiction. Through personal stories and expert insights, the hosts present a compelling argument that it's our beliefs about alcohol that shape our behaviors.
As Steven Slate puts it, 'If you believe that alcohol really does this list of things that everybody says it does, the behavior of someone who drinks under those beliefs is completely rational.' Tune in to explore these fresh perspectives and rethink what you know about addiction.
