If I had to say that there's an opposite of addiction, I would say that it's diversification.
Ever heard that the opposite of addiction is connection? In this thought-provoking episode of the Addiction Solution Podcast, hosts Michelle Dunbar, Mark Scheeren, and Stephen Slate dive into this popular theory. They challenge the notion that building connections is the key to overcoming addiction, arguing instead for a more nuanced approach: diversification. The hosts dissect the myths surrounding Alcoholics Anonymous and other 12-step programs, questioning their scientific validity and effectiveness.
They advocate for personal empowerment and the pursuit of individual happiness over reliance on external treatment methods. The episode also delves into how social norms shape our understanding of addiction and highlights the limitations of current addiction research. With a judgment-free tone, The Freedom Model emphasizes individual determination and offers a fresh perspective on recovery. Tune in to explore why diversification might just be the game-changer in your journey to sobriety.
