I quit my addiction because it was hurting my life in a way that violated who I really was.
Imagine quitting a powerful addiction not through sheer willpower or specific techniques, but by aligning with your core values. That's the intriguing premise Dr. Stanton Peele explores in this episode of the LPP Podcast. Sharing a compelling story about his Uncle Ozzie, who quit smoking suddenly, Dr. Peele illustrates how deeply held values can drive significant change.
He delves into why some people are able to overcome addictions like cocaine, heroin, and alcohol, highlighting that it's not just about the substance but about finding a life worth living. Dr. Peele and co-host Zach Rhoads challenge the common belief that addiction is an inescapable disease. Instead, they advocate for a perspective that emphasizes personal responsibility, empathy, and community support. This episode isn't just about quitting; it's about understanding the deeper motivations that can lead to lasting recovery.
Whether you're struggling with addiction yourself or supporting someone who is, this conversation offers valuable insights into how embracing one's values can be a powerful tool in the journey to recovery.
