The disease brain idea is pushed incredibly hard on people because it creates compassion rather than resentment. So if we're telling spouses they don't get to feel this way because it came from a diseased person, you need to just let that go.
Matt and Paige Robinson are back with another thought-provoking episode of 'Till The Wheels Fall Off'. This time, they dive into the often-debated disease concept of addiction and its impact on relationships. With over twenty years of personal experience in addiction recovery, they bring a unique perspective to the table, questioning whether the disease model excuses abusive behavior in relationships.
They don't shy away from the tough questions, instead offering a candid discussion on accountability and the validation of feelings during active addiction. Matt and Paige's approach is both compassionate and challenging, as they explore the complexities of addiction, choice, and personal responsibility. If you're in early sobriety or supporting someone who is, this episode offers a fresh look at the dynamics of addiction and recovery.
It's not just about the science; it's about real-life implications and the importance of taking ownership of one's actions. Tune in for an engaging conversation that might just change how you view addiction and its effects on relationships.
