She recognizes that what almost killed her was the recovery narrative: 'You’re doomed as an addict from birth; you can stave off destruction with absolute abstinence for as long as you can (in Lovato’s case six years); then we can’t help you.'
What if the conventional path to addiction recovery isn't the only way? In this episode of the LPP Podcast, Demi Lovato opens up about her journey with substance use and why she believes the traditional recovery narrative almost cost her life. Lovato, a well-known figure, discusses her decision to step away from the 'doomed addict' label and embrace a more individualized approach to recovery.
She shares how she now manages her life by making her own choices about drinking and smoking pot, and how this shift has given her a sense of control and balance that was missing before. Lovato's story is not just about defying norms; it's about finding what works for you and taking charge of your own life. The hosts, Dr. Stanton Peele and Zach Rhoads, delve into the complexities of addiction and the importance of personal responsibility in recovery.
They also touch on Tony Bennett's experiences, adding another layer to the conversation about the multifaceted nature of drug use and recovery. This episode is a must-listen for anyone questioning the one-size-fits-all approach to addiction recovery and looking for inspiration to forge their own path.
