There are some special people that are addicts and they're out of control, and if they have one drink, they're going to be off to the races and they can't stop themselves and they're going to relapse when they experience a stressful event or see a trigger, or whatever it is. And I'll tell you that I have a real personal experience with this, with somebody in my family who believed a certain way, and when I learned about these alternatives and the other options and even moderation, that I began to speak to my own child in a very, very different way and say: you are not powerless, you are making a choice, you do not have a disease.
Ever felt like the traditional 12-step recovery programs just don't fit? Monica Richardson sits down with Steven Slate to discuss a refreshing alternative that might be what you need. Steven, now working at St. Jude's Retreat, shares his insights on a non-12 step approach to overcoming addiction. This episode isn't about labeling addiction as a disease; instead, it focuses on empowerment and personal choice.
Steven and Monica explore how cultural beliefs around drugs and alcohol play a role in recovery and why accountability is key. Steven even opens up about how he learned to communicate differently with his own child, stressing that addiction is a choice, not a fate. This conversation is packed with personal stories and practical advice, offering a new perspective on recovery that centers on taking control of your own journey.
If you're tired of feeling powerless and are looking for a different path, this episode is a must-listen.
