The key distinction is to say: like that first thought, do you, you don't call that a craving right, it's sitting there and going, yeah, I need that, but I can't have it.
Have you ever wondered if cravings are more than just an uncontrollable urge? In this episode of 'The Freedom Model For Addictions', the team dives deep into the true nature of cravings and addiction. They challenge the widely accepted brain disease model, arguing that addiction is not a disease but rather a series of invested thoughts.
By understanding cravings as spurious thoughts, they suggest that individuals can regain control over their lives without relying on traditional treatments like rehab or 12-step programs. According to the hosts, these conventional methods often do more harm than good, trapping people in a cycle of dependency. Instead, they propose a model that emphasizes personal choice and responsibility, debunking myths that have long been perpetuated by outdated beliefs.
The episode also touches on how habits play a role in addiction but clarifies that addiction itself is a normal human experience that can be managed with the right mindset. If you're curious about breaking free from the traditional views on addiction and want to explore a new way of thinking about cravings, this episode offers valuable insights and practical advice. Tune in to learn how to conquer your cravings and take control of your life.
