Freedom and Addiction: Making Choices that Matter with Carel van Heerden
So having that dependence, dependency that is taking away your freedom, then you're not living, in my humble opinion.
What does freedom mean to you? In this eye-opening episode of the Craving Wolves Addiction Podcast, host Carel van Heerden tackles the intricate subject of freedom, especially in the context of addiction and dependency. Carel doesn't just scratch the surface; he digs deep into how our choices either pave the way to freedom or bind us further in chains. He poses challenging questions: Are security and safety taking away our freedom, or are they freedoms in themselves?
And when we choose to abstain from certain substances, are we exercising our freedom or restricting it? Through his engaging and thought-provoking style, Carel explores how dependency can rob us of our ability to make free choices. But he also emphasizes that feeding the 'good wolf'—making decisions that lead to personal growth—is a powerful way to reclaim our freedom. This episode is a must-listen for anyone grappling with the complex relationship between freedom and addiction.
Carel's insights offer a fresh perspective that could be the key to unlocking your own path to freedom.
