Reframing Alcoholism: The Power of Thought with Harry Derbitsky
“Alcoholism is not a disease. It can't be a disease, not until after the fact. You see the person can drink and never become an alcoholic. Now other people take a drink and they go and drink to excess. But they drink to excess for a reason, and this reason, you can be rest assured, is connected to the thought system.”
Is alcoholism truly a disease, or is it something deeper rooted in our thoughts? In this episode of 'Addiction, Alcoholism & The 3 Principles', hosts Harry Derbitsky and Greg Suchy dive into a provocative discussion that challenges the conventional wisdom surrounding alcoholism and mental health. Drawing from the teachings of Sydney Banks, they argue that alcoholism stems not from a disease but from negative thought patterns and insecurities.
Harry and Greg explore how altering these thought patterns can lead to profound changes in mental health and overall well-being. They emphasize that our mental struggles are more connected to our current thoughts than to our past experiences. This episode is a must-listen for anyone looking to understand the intricate relationship between thought and addiction, offering a fresh perspective that could transform how we approach recovery.
