So what you're really talking about is: throw away the guilt.
Ever find yourself torn between making others happy and finding your own joy? This episode of 'The Freedom Model for Addictions' dives into that very struggle. Hosts Mark Scheeren and Michelle Dunbar take a deep look at how prioritizing your own happiness can be a game-changer in addiction recovery. They challenge the old-school belief that addiction is a lifelong disease and argue that traditional treatment methods and 12-step programs often miss the mark.
Instead, the hosts champion the power of free will and personal choice. They discuss how letting go of guilt and shame can help you break free from the perceived benefits of substance use. Imagine living a life where your happiness doesn't come at the expense of those you love. This episode offers practical advice on how to strike that balance.

They make a compelling case for why shedding societal expectations and focusing on what truly makes you happy can lead to lasting recovery. If you're tired of feeling stuck in the traditional recovery rut, this episode might just be the fresh perspective you need. With a mix of personal anecdotes and broader insights, this episode is perfect for anyone looking to reclaim control over their life.
Whether you're struggling with addiction yourself or supporting someone who is, you'll find valuable takeaways here. Tune in for an eye-opening discussion that could change how you approach happiness and recovery.
