Recovery is like somebody saying you have to sit under the table, the rest of us are going to sit up here, us normies.
Ever felt stuck in the endless cycle of addiction recovery? The Freedom Model for Addictions podcast might just have the answers you're looking for. In this episode, hosts Mark Scheeren and Michelle Dunbar take a hard look at the concept of 'addiction recovery' and argue why it might be more harmful than helpful. They tackle myths surrounding addiction and critique the traditional 12-step programs that many swear by.
According to them, labeling oneself as 'in recovery' can be like living in a constant state of limbo, endlessly revisiting past mistakes instead of moving forward. Mark and Michelle don't see addiction as a lifelong disease but as a temporary problem that can be overcome. They emphasize the importance of dealing with emotional upheavals and accepting oneself, flaws and all.
If you're tired of the conventional wisdom around addiction and are ready for a new perspective, this episode offers a compelling alternative. It's all about reclaiming your life and breaking free from the 'recovery trap'.
