Rethinking Recovery: Avoiding Distractions in Addiction Processes
Your freedom, your mind is going to supersede a meeting structure and all this recovery nonsense, and we're going to show the world and all the people in it that aa has been wrong for years in its approach, it's factually incorrect, and that we have a better answer.
Ever feel like the recovery process is more about jumping through hoops than actually overcoming addiction? In this eye-opening episode of 'The Freedom Model for Addictions', hosts Mark Scheeren and Michelle Dunbar dive into why many recovery processes might be leading you astray. They argue that the quest for a 'perfect' recovery can distract from the real goal: understanding that sobriety isn't about life being flawless but about making empowered choices despite life's challenges.
The episode takes a critical look at the traditional 12-step programs and the common belief that substances have the power to change our thoughts. Instead, the hosts advocate for a different approach—one that focuses on personal responsibility and the reality that life is tough, but manageable without the crutch of drugs or alcohol.
If you're tired of the conventional recovery narrative and looking for a fresh perspective, this episode offers a compelling argument for why breaking free from these distractions is crucial for genuine sobriety.
