Because I feel like people who see things black and white...it's almost something that can act as a disease.
When it comes to understanding addiction, perspectives can vary widely. In this episode of The Average Addicts Podcast, host Chris Knight dives into this complex topic with media producer Seth Whitted and Kevin Farkas of The Social Voice Project. They tackle the age-old debate: Is addiction a choice, or is it a disease? Seth, who has been sober for over a decade, shares his personal journey and explains how addiction rewires the brain, making recovery an uphill battle.
Meanwhile, Kevin and Chris discuss how behavioral factors also play a significant role in addiction. The conversation is raw and unfiltered, touching on the importance of honest communication, the role of accountability partners, and why confrontational attitudes might do more harm than good. If you're looking for an episode that combines personal stories with expert insights, this one promises to deliver. As Seth puts it, 'This conversation needs to be had more often.'
