The freedom model is free thinking, everything I just described, or you can be in the control model. And that is, there is some force that's controlling you. And then there are all kinds of external things that you need from big pharma, from, from, from all this recovery apparatus to run your life, sponsors, therapists, your family, everybody making decisions for you and you giving your rights away to the system. And it's painful and there's no end to it.
Ever felt like your life is spinning out of control due to an addiction? In this eye-opening episode of 'The Freedom Model for Addictions', hosts Michelle Dunbar and Mark Scheeren tackle the controversial topic of addiction head-on.
