Addiction is not a spiritual problem that needs a spiritual solution. It is a temporary problem that can be overcome with the power of the individual's mind.
Ever wondered if spirituality is a must-have in the journey to overcome addiction? This episode of 'The Freedom Model For Addictions' dives deep into this common belief. Hosts Mark Scheeren and Michelle Dunbar take you on a historical tour, shedding light on how the idea of addiction as a spiritual malady took root. They trace its origins back to the early days of 12-step programs, revealing how these notions have shaped modern recovery approaches.
But here's the twist – they argue that these spiritual concepts might actually be holding you back. Instead of seeing addiction as a lifelong disease that requires a spiritual fix, they propose a different path: one that emphasizes personal choice and self-empowerment. The episode also touches on the limitations of medication-based treatments and challenges the effectiveness of conventional rehab methods.
If you're tired of the traditional narrative and ready to explore a fresh perspective, this episode offers a thought-provoking look at how to reclaim control over your life without relying on outdated and ineffective methods.
