Ever questioned whether alcoholism is a disease or something else entirely? In this episode of 'Brutally Sober', Joey C. dives headfirst into this hotly debated topic. Broadcasting from his usual spot in a grocery store parking lot, Joey offers a refreshingly raw take on the disease model of addiction. He doesn't shy away from challenging traditional views and emphasizes the importance of recognizing individuality in recovery.
Joey argues that addiction doesn't strip away a person's decency and highlights how moral, religious, or spiritual training can be powerful assets in the journey to sobriety. In his unfiltered style, Joey underscores the significance of small good deeds and maintaining spiritual fitness. He stresses that community support can be a game-changer and urges listeners not to wait until they've hit rock bottom to seek help.
With his usual colorful language and witty analogies, Joey keeps the conversation engaging and thought-provoking. One memorable moment? Joey's vivid metaphor: 'Your disease is in the parking lot doing push-ups. Be stronger than your disease'. This episode is a must-listen for anyone grappling with questions about the nature of addiction and looking for an unvarnished discussion that cuts to the heart of recovery.
