Addiction isn't a disease; it's a temporary problem that you can overcome with the right mindset.
In this episode of The Addiction Solution, Mark Shearren and Michelle Dunbar take on the pervasive myths surrounding addiction treatment. They argue that addiction is not a disease and that traditional rehab and 12-step programmes often do more harm than good. With their unique approach, Mark and Michelle aim to dismantle the misconceptions that keep people stuck in cycles of dependency and fear.
They delve into how manipulative behaviours can hinder personal growth and relationships, offering practical advice on breaking free from these patterns. Through personal anecdotes and a candid discussion, they explore the importance of self-reflection and the power of choice in overcoming addiction. The hosts also highlight the pitfalls of labelling people as narcissists and the detrimental effects of control-based recovery programmes. Instead, they advocate for a more compassionate and understanding approach to both oneself and others.
