Addiction is not a consequence of taking drugs and drinking. Rather, it arises from the way in which these and other compelling activities fit into people's lives and meanings.
What if addiction isn't just about the substances we consume but about how they fit into our lives? Dr Stanton Peele, a renowned expert and author of eight books on addiction, joins Monica Richardson on 'Safe Recovery' to explore this compelling idea. With over forty years of experience, Dr Peele has been ahead of the curve, predicting many addiction trends that have since become widely recognized.
In this episode, he challenges the traditional notion that addiction is simply a result of drug and alcohol use. Instead, he delves into how these activities interact with our lives and the meanings we attach to them. Dr Peele also sheds light on the shortcomings of AA meetings and emphasizes the role of mindfulness and self-acceptance in recovery.
He doesn't shy away from controversial topics, discussing the impact of marijuana legalization on addiction treatment and sharing his thoughts on the future of recovery. If you're curious about alternative approaches to addiction and want to hear from a pioneer in the field, this episode is a must-listen.
