My whole thing was: I want to prove to myself I don't want to be dependent on meetings, I don't want to be dependent on a sponsor. I don't want to be dependent on having to be totally abstinent from everything for the rest of my life.
Is it possible to fully recover from addiction and then use substances responsibly? In this eye-opening episode of Elevation Recovery, Chris Scott and Matt Finch tackle this controversial topic head-on. They challenge the widely-held belief that addiction is a lifelong, incurable disease. Instead, they propose that with the right approach, some people might be able to regain control and use substances in moderation.
Chris and Matt delve into why many still cling to the idea that addiction can only be managed but never cured. They discuss the potential pitfalls of 12-step recovery programs, suggesting that these traditional methods might not work for everyone. Instead, they advocate for personalized recovery plans that resonate with each individual’s unique needs. The episode also explores alternative recovery methods like biochemical restoration and the importance of a healthy lifestyle.
Chris and Matt aren’t afraid to critique established norms, including the use of medication-assisted treatments and the role of AA in addiction recovery. For anyone grappling with addiction or supporting someone who is, this episode offers a fresh perspective. It encourages listeners to consider a variety of recovery paths and find what truly works for them. With their blend of personal experience and professional insight, Chris and Matt provide a thought-provoking discussion that’s both hopeful and empowering.
