Debating Addiction: Disease, Choice, or Moral Failing?

Connection is really important, because there's a little bit of accountability when you adopt connection, whether it's with your neighbor who's not in recovery or someone who has no idea that you're in recovery.
What if the way we think about addiction could change everything? In this episode of the Real Sobriety Podcast, Robert McClellan dives into one of the most heated debates in recovery circles: Is addiction a disease, a choice, or a moral failing? Robert doesn't just stick to the theories; he brings in his own experiences, offering a raw and relatable perspective. He opens up about how these different views have shaped his journey and the way he approaches sobriety today.
But that's not all. Robert stresses the power of human connections in the recovery process. He believes that having a strong support system can make all the difference. He also touches on how trauma and a lack of love can be underlying triggers for addiction, making this episode a heartfelt call to understand and support those battling with it.
Whether you're in recovery yourself, supporting someone who is, or just curious about the topic, this episode offers plenty to think about. Tune in for an honest conversation that could change the way you see addiction.
