If we were to say there are tools, it's mindfully figuring out what you like about drinking and then, secondly, challenging that with the facts about what alcohol and or drugs actually provide.
Ever wake up determined to stay sober, only to find yourself drinking by evening? If that sounds familiar, this episode of 'The Freedom Model for Addictions' is for you. Hosts Mark Scheeren and Michelle Dunbar dive into the age-old question: Do you really need tools to stop drinking, or is it all about mindset? They argue that traditional rehab and 12-step programs often miss the mark by focusing on external tools rather than internal change.
This episode challenges you to rethink your beliefs about substance use and develop genuine motivation for change. The hosts discuss the myths surrounding Alcoholics Anonymous, which they claim was founded on outdated ideas from a failed stockbroker in the 1930s. They emphasize the importance of breaking free from these ingrained beliefs and understanding what alcohol and drugs actually do for you—or don't do.
One standout moment in the episode is when they urge listeners to mindfully assess what they like about drinking and challenge those perceptions with hard facts. It's not just about quitting; it's about changing your entire mindset. The Freedom Model promotes self-awareness and personal choice, offering a refreshing alternative to conventional recovery methods. If you're tired of the same old recovery narrative and want to explore a different path, this episode is a must-listen.
