Addiction is a matter of perspective, not a state of being that compels you to drink or drunk.
Ever feel like the labels 'addict' or 'alcoholic' have been unfairly stuck on you? This episode of 'The Freedom Model for Addictions' podcast takes a hard look at how these labels, often reinforced by 12 Step Drug and Alcohol Rehabs, shape self-perception and hinder recovery. Hosts Mark Scheeren and Michelle Dunbar argue that the traditional narrative of addiction as a lifelong disease is not only misleading but also counterproductive.
They discuss how the Freedom Model offers a refreshing alternative that focuses on personal freedom and happiness rather than perpetual recovery. The hosts dive into the concept of expectancy theory, explaining how the belief in inevitable relapse can become a self-fulfilling prophecy. They also explore how self-image influences one's relationship with substances, making a strong case for breaking free from limiting beliefs.
By the end of this episode, you'll be questioning everything you've been taught about addiction and considering a new path to recovery that prioritizes your autonomy and well-being.
