Reclaiming Yourself: Letting Go of the Addict Label
“Do you think of yourself as an addict or alcoholic? Even those who reject the disease theory and the 12 step program often label themselves.”

They discuss how controlling behavior and understanding pharmacology can play a role in overcoming addiction. Most importantly, they emphasize the transformative power of thought and mindset in the recovery journey. This isn't just another podcast about addiction; it's a refreshing, non-judgmental conversation that challenges you to think differently about recovery.
If you're tired of the same old narratives and ready to explore a new approach, this episode offers a compelling alternative with The Freedom Model for Addictions.
