It's really important that you reject the addict, alcoholic, self-image, reject labels.
What if the labels we attach to ourselves are holding us back from true recovery? In this eye-opening episode of 'The Freedom Model for Addictions', hosts Mark Scheeren and Michelle Dunbar tackle the often unspoken issue of self-image in addiction. They argue that seeing oneself as an 'addict' or 'alcoholic' can become a self-fulfilling prophecy, trapping individuals in a cycle of dependency. Instead, they propose a radical shift: view addiction as a temporary hurdle, not a lifelong sentence.
This episode is packed with insights on why traditional 12-step programs may not be the answer for everyone. The hosts debunk the myths surrounding these programs, pointing out their roots in the 1930s and the lack of scientific backing. They introduce listeners to The Freedom Model online program, which offers an alternative path to recovery focused on personal choice and empowerment.
Whether you're personally affected by addiction or supporting someone who is, this episode provides a fresh perspective that could change how you view recovery. Say goodbye to limiting labels and hello to a new way of thinking about addiction.
