If somebody's filling you with more fear, don't listen to them. Run away. Don't listen to them. You have to move forward. It's always going to work based on a positive motivation somewhere in your decision-making.
Ever wondered how society's views on addiction could be holding you back? In this episode, co-hosts Michelle Dunbar and Mark Sheeran dive into what they call the 'Playground Effect'. This isn't your typical take on addiction recovery. Michelle and Mark, the brains behind The Freedom Model, challenge the conventional wisdom that labels addiction as a lifelong battle. They argue that seeing yourself as an 'addict' can trap you in a cycle of struggle and hopelessness.
Instead, they advocate for a fresh perspective that sees addiction as a temporary problem, one that you can overcome without endless meetings or fear-based interventions. If you're tired of the same old recovery story and looking for a new way to think about addiction, this episode is for you.
