Breaking Free: The Freedom Model's Take on Addiction and Personal Choice
If there is no disease, if there is no outside force that's guiding your life, called booze, drugs or addiction, then what is there to recover from? It's not a matter of willpower, it's a matter of choices.
Imagine feeling like you're stuck in a cycle, constantly looking for someone to tell you what to do next. That's the reality for many people seeking help for addiction. They often believe they need an external program or treatment to fix them. In this episode of 'The Freedom Model for Addictions', hosts Mark Scheeren and Michelle Dunbar challenge this notion head-on.
They argue that addiction isn't a disease but a temporary problem that can be overcome through personal choice and behavior change. Instead of feeling powerless, The Freedom Model empowers individuals to take control of their lives. The hosts discuss why traditional treatment programs, which focus on the idea that you're powerless over your addiction, often fall short. They delve into the benefits of detox and the importance of making your own decisions in the recovery process.
If you're tired of the same old recovery methods and looking for a fresh perspective, this episode is a game-changer. Tune in to learn how changing your behavior and making choices that work for you can lead to lasting success.
