You are not powerless, you are not just acting in some whimsical loss of control way.
Ever wondered if addiction really means losing control? This episode of 'The Addiction Solution Podcast' brings in experts from The Freedom Model to tackle this very question. They start by challenging the idea that addiction is a disease, a belief that's deeply rooted in society thanks to the founding myths of Alcoholics Anonymous. The hosts argue that thinking of addiction as a disease and believing in powerlessness can actually be harmful, trapping people in cycles of shame and guilt.
They dive into the history of Alcoholics Anonymous, explaining how its influence has shaped Western views on addiction. The discussion doesn't stop there; they also explore how ignorance plays a role in addiction prevention and why logic and research should be at the forefront of recovery methods. The conversation gets raw and real as they peel back the layers of addiction recovery, shedding light on how belief systems impact our behaviors.
The experts emphasize the importance of breaking free from harmful myths and moving forward with a life full of autonomy and informed choices. If you're tired of the traditional narratives around addiction and are looking for a fresh perspective, this episode offers thought-provoking insights and practical advice. Tune in to hear how you can reclaim control and challenge the myths that have held you back.
