If you can't stop drinking, you're once an addict, always an addict, which is completely unfair, because the people saying that have never actually struggled with that particular disease.
Ever wondered if there's a better way to approach sobriety than going cold turkey? In this episode of 'Daily Dose of Dr Marry & DD', hosts Dr. Mary Ellen Barnes and Dayna Abraham dive into why the all-or-nothing mindset might not be the best route for everyone. DD opens up about her personal struggle with moderation versus complete abstinence, while Dr. Marry humorously admits his tendency to buy every movie instead of just renting one.
Their conversation sheds light on the dangers of perfectionism and how it can lead to unnecessary misery. They also share valuable lessons learned from their guests, emphasizing that addiction is not a one-size-fits-all issue. Instead of focusing on being perfect, they encourage listeners to celebrate progress and the unique journey each person takes towards sobriety. This episode is perfect for anyone navigating their own path to recovery or supporting someone who is.
Tune in for an insightful and compassionate discussion that challenges the traditional views on addiction and sobriety.
