Rethinking Addiction: A Fresh Perspective on the 12 Step Program
12 Step beliefs are pervasive society today, and those who are involved in 12 Steps underestimate how programmed with misinformation they truly are.
Ever wondered if the traditional 12 Step program is the only path to overcoming addiction? In this episode of 'The Freedom Model For Addictions', hosts Mark Scheeren and Michelle Dunbar challenge the deeply ingrained beliefs surrounding the 12 Step program. They argue that many who follow these steps may be unknowingly influenced by misinformation, which could hinder their journey to true freedom from addiction.
The discussion takes a critical look at how treatment and rehab programs might actually lower the chances of overcoming addiction by promoting a sense of powerlessness. Instead, the hosts offer an alternative approach that emphasizes personal interpretation and mindfulness. They introduce The Freedom Model online program as a self-guided solution that allows individuals to learn and grow in the comfort of their own homes.
By focusing on mindfulness and understanding one's personal needs, listeners can take the first step towards complete freedom from addiction. This episode is a must-listen for anyone disillusioned with traditional recovery methods and seeking a path that champions autonomy and informed choice.
