Your life gets a little smaller, more self-limiting, and you get lost even deeper in that pot of hell stew. So the treatment program is telling you: yeah, you were self-medicating for those things, but you can't have it right. Because now your brain chemistry is conspiring against you all the time, which is also a lie. So there's all these lies that you're being told.
What if everything you thought you knew about addiction recovery was turned on its head? In 'The Greatest Lie Told in Recovery', the hosts of 'The Freedom Model for Addictions', Mark Scheeren and Michelle Dunbar, challenge one of the most entrenched beliefs in addiction treatment: the idea that addiction is a lifelong disease. This episode dives deep into why this notion might be more harmful than helpful, arguing that it could actually lower your chances of overcoming addiction.
Mark and Michelle bring their own experiences and reflections to the table, making the discussion both personal and relatable. They don't just stop at debunking myths; they offer actionable advice for those looking to break free from the so-called 'addiction trap'. From questioning the efficacy of rehab programs and 12-step methods to proposing that addiction is a temporary issue that can be resolved without traditional treatment, this episode is a game-changer.
If you're tired of the same old narratives and are ready to explore a new perspective on addiction recovery, this episode is for you. It's informative, engaging, and might just be the wake-up call you need to start living a life free from addiction.
