We somehow made abstinence the most important part of recovery... But he drank on four of those days and just to help people with math, that's half a percent. How is it that we've somehow weirdly decided that in this area of life, if you slip up, you've failed and you have to go back to the beginning and start over.
Imagine a world where recovery from addiction doesn't start with quitting. In this thought-provoking episode of the Positive Sobriety Podcast, hosts Nate Larkin and David Hampton sit down with Dr. Adi Jaffe, the author of 'The Abstinence Myth: A New Approach for Overcoming Addiction Without Shame, Judgment or Rules.' Dr. Jaffe turns conventional wisdom on its head by suggesting that abstinence shouldn't be the only path to recovery.
Instead, he emphasizes the importance of understanding the root causes of addiction and offering support that's rooted in compassion and empathy. Dr. Jaffe's approach is all about harm reduction and breaking down the stigma surrounding addiction. He believes that labels and judgment can do more harm than good, often pushing individuals further into their struggles. Through his own personal journey with addiction and his expertise in psychology and neuroscience, Dr.
Jaffe offers a fresh perspective that might just change how you think about recovery. This episode is perfect for anyone seeking a deeper understanding of addiction, whether you're on your own recovery journey or supporting someone else. You'll walk away with new insights and perhaps a renewed sense of hope. Tune in to hear Dr. Jaffe's compelling arguments and personal anecdotes that highlight the complexities of the human experience.
