The truth is you don't need addiction treatment, meetings, or 'recovery' to change your substance use and solve an addiction.
Ever felt overwhelmed by the idea that quitting an addiction means a lifetime of recovery? In this episode of 'The Freedom Model For Addictions', hosts Mark Scheeren and Michelle Dunbar challenge the traditional narrative. They argue that addiction isn't a lifelong disease requiring endless treatment and meetings. Instead, they present the idea that addiction is a temporary issue that individuals can overcome on their own terms.
Forget the conventional wisdom about 12-step programs and rehab being the only paths to sobriety. Mark and Michelle break down why these methods often fall short and how defining your life by addiction can actually be harmful. They introduce The Freedom Model, which emphasizes personal choice, happiness, and abstinence as the keys to breaking free from substance use.
You'll hear about the importance of not letting the fear of relapse control your life and why finding joy in your circumstances is crucial for overcoming addiction. This episode is a must-listen for anyone tired of traditional recovery methods and looking for a fresh perspective on quitting substance use.
