But the reason I thought this article in newjersey com was interesting The Other Day is it's got a whole bunch of quotes from parents and some people that are working in the clinics where people are going in to get you know, treatment for addiction and the you know intake people, the nurses and counselors, et cetera- are saying to them: hey, you know, why don't you fake a mental illness here?
Ever felt like the traditional 12-step programs just don't resonate with you? In this episode of 'Safe Recovery', host Monica Richardson chats with Steven Slate, a former addict and the author behind 'The Freedom Model for Addictions'. Slate opens up about his personal battle with addiction and how he found his way out without relying on the conventional 12-step approach. Instead, he focuses on empowerment and behavior change, challenging the widely accepted disease model of addiction.
Slate and Richardson dive into the shortcomings of AA and similar programs, shedding light on the potential harm of embracing a 'powerless' mindset. They also discuss how positive psychology can play a pivotal role in recovery, offering a refreshing alternative to the usual narrative. The conversation doesn't shy away from tough topics like the impact of propaganda in addiction treatment and the dangers of negative self-labeling.
If you're looking for a different perspective on recovery or just curious about non-12 step methods, this episode is packed with insights that might just change the way you think about addiction. Slate's story is a testament to the power of personal choice and self-empowerment in overcoming addiction. Tune in to hear a compelling discussion that encourages you to explore all your options and rethink traditional approaches to addiction treatment.
