God gives us the ability, the knowledge and the spiritual support, but that doesn't mean there's not a lot of work for us to do, and the idea that the work I should pursue to cure my addiction to alcohol was spiritual work just didn't make sense to me.
Ever felt like the traditional approaches to alcoholism just don't resonate with you? In this episode of the 'Untoxicated Podcast', Matt Salis takes a bold stand against the common notion that alcoholism is a spiritual problem. Sharing a speech he gave to a community of recovering alcoholics, Matt argues that a spiritual solution isn't the answer for everyone. His perspective sparks an open-minded and lively discussion, shedding light on the complex nature of addiction and recovery.
Matt delves into his personal journey with alcoholism, touching on the mental health struggles and the significant impact of labeling oneself as an alcoholic. He also dives into the controversies surrounding the twelve-step program and explores the roles of neurotransmitters and the subconscious mind in addiction. This episode is a refreshing take on recovery, emphasizing that there's no one-size-fits-all solution and highlighting the importance of sharing personal stories to foster inclusivity in the recovery community.
Whether you're navigating your own path to sobriety or supporting a loved one, Matt's candid discussion offers valuable insights and a different perspective on tackling addiction.
