Finding Freedom: Overcoming Heavy Use When Alone with The Freedom Model
There's no reason that you can't become mindful and begin to think: okay, all right, I'm, I, you know, I've, I've been abstinent for all this time for The Last Six Weeks.
Ever find yourself reaching for a drink or drug more often when you're alone? You're not alone in this struggle. In this episode of 'The Freedom Model for Addictions', hosts Michelle Dunbar and Mark Scheeren dive into why many people find it harder to break the habit of heavy use when they're by themselves. The episode takes a refreshing look at addiction, challenging the conventional wisdom that labels it as a lifelong disease.
Instead, it offers a new perspective that focuses on self-awareness and mindfulness as the keys to overcoming these challenges. Michelle and Mark argue that traditional rehab and 12-step programs, like Alcoholics Anonymous, may actually hinder your chances of breaking free from addiction. They encourage listeners to question these long-held beliefs and consider an alternative approach that emphasizes personal choice and responsibility.
If you're tired of the same old recovery methods and looking for something that truly empowers you to take control of your life, this episode is a must-listen. Tune in to discover how you can break the cycle of heavy use when you're alone and start living a more fulfilling life.
