Addiction: Disease, Choice, or Both? Unpacking the Debate with Brock Bevell
“If I have to admit that I am powerless over my addiction, it means I'm hopeless. I have a freedom to choose right and wrong, addiction or disease.”
Is addiction a matter of choice, or is it a disease? This age-old debate stirs up strong opinions, and in this episode of 'Chase The Vase', host Brock Bevell dives headfirst into the controversy. Brock, a retired undercover police officer turned recovery advocate, brings his unique perspective to the table, dissecting both scientific and moral arguments.
He doesn't shy away from the tough questions, challenging the notion that addiction is solely a disease and exploring how this label can sometimes foster a sense of helplessness. Instead, he encourages listeners to reclaim their power and make proactive choices in their recovery journey. Drawing on insights from the Bible, Brock also delves into the role of free will in overcoming addiction.
This episode is a thought-provoking listen for anyone grappling with addiction or those wanting to understand this complex issue better. Tune in to gain a fresh perspective and maybe even find a bit of hope along the way.
