If we put addiction awareness on the TV, like we do with our politics and like we do with our disasters, framed in the right way, yeah, because I mean we all know, let's not call it a moral failing, let's not call it a choice, let's call it what it is: a disease, a sickness.
Ever felt like the traditional recovery methods just don’t fit? In this episode of 'Miracles in Recovery', Ray Lynch sits down with David Essel to chat about his unique take on addiction and the road to recovery. David doesn’t mince words—he’s all about recognizing addiction as a disease, not a moral failing. He digs into why one-size-fits-all recovery models often fall short and stresses the importance of finding what works for each individual. But that’s not all.
David gets real about spirituality, explaining how staying connected to a higher power can be a game-changer in maintaining sobriety. He also throws some shade at the idea that positive thinking alone can solve all your problems. And if you think codependency isn’t that big of a deal, think again. David calls it the biggest addiction in the world and shares his own journey to overcoming it.
Whether you’re battling addiction, supporting someone who is, or just curious about different recovery paths, this episode offers a fresh perspective and plenty of food for thought.
