Nobody is powerless over a lifeless substance, because alcohol doesn't have a mind, nor does it have motives.
Ever wondered if the 12 Steps of Alcoholics Anonymous are really the best path to recovery? In this episode, Mark Scheeren and Michelle Dunbar from 'The Freedom Model for Addictions' take a deep dive into the origins and myths of AA’s famous program. They share stories from thousands who’ve tried and struggled with the 12 Steps, shedding light on why it might not be the one-size-fits-all solution it's often portrayed to be.
The hosts explore the role of faith and spirituality in recovery, challenging the idea that these elements are necessary for everyone. Instead, they present science-based alternatives that focus on personal choice and responsibility. If you’re curious about different ways to approach addiction recovery, or if you’ve found traditional methods lacking, this episode offers a fresh perspective that might just resonate with you.
Mark and Michelle's passionate and straightforward discussion encourages listeners to think critically about their own recovery journeys and consider new possibilities. Tune in for an eye-opening conversation that questions conventional wisdom and champions a more individualized approach to overcoming addiction.
