Wake up people! The studies have shown that addiction can be defined as a primary disease, not an emotional or behavioral issue. This is not something you can simply castigate or punish out of someone.
Ever wondered why society still struggles with understanding addiction as a disease? In this episode of Recovery Elevator, Paul Churchill sits down with John and Adrienne, who have 17 and 11 years of sobriety under their belts, respectively. Their story is a powerful testament to the fact that addiction isn't a character flaw but a brain disorder. Despite the growing acceptance of this idea, the stigma persists, and John and Adrienne are here to challenge it head-on.
John and Adrienne, authors of 'The Painting and the Piano', share their deeply personal journey from the grip of addiction to a life of sobriety. They dive into how childhood experiences shaped their paths and discuss the crucial role of treatment and support groups in their recovery. You'll hear about the transformative power of nature and physical activity in their lives, offering a fresh perspective on recovery strategies.
This conversation isn't just inspiring; it's a call to action for anyone struggling with addiction or supporting someone who is. Paul Churchill emphasizes that addiction is not a moral failing but a primary disease that rewires the brain. The real choice lies in reaching out for help, not in battling the addiction alone. Tune in to hear John and Adrienne's full story, and gain a deeper understanding of addiction as a disease.
This episode provides hope, encouragement, and practical insights for anyone on the path to sobriety.
