Addiction isn't a disease; it's a temporary problem that you can solve without lifelong recovery rituals
In this episode of The Freedom Model for Addictions, hosts Michelle Dunbar and Mark Shearren tackle the controversial topic of addiction and challenge the widely accepted belief that abstinence is necessary for recovery. With a refreshing perspective, they argue that addiction is not a disease and that traditional rehab and 12-step programmes often do more harm than good.
Instead, they present a compelling case for moderation and self-control, debunking the myths surrounding addiction and offering practical solutions to overcome it without the need for lifelong recovery rituals. The episode also touches on the concept of 'fetish objects' – substances or behaviours that people believe have power over them – and how these misconceptions can be dismantled to regain control over one's life.
Through personal anecdotes and insightful discussions, Michelle and Mark provide a thought-provoking look at how to break free from the shackles of addiction. Whether you're struggling with substance use or behavioural issues, this episode offers a new way of thinking that could change your life. Tune in to hear their unique take on addiction and discover how you can achieve true freedom.
