The most natural instinct that exists in human beings is to take care of their offspring to take care of their like. I don't think that's what you were saying either.
Ever wondered how much control you really have over your recovery journey? In this episode of AllBetter, host Joe Van Wie chats with Michael Arcangeletti, the Executive Director of Clearbrook and Banyan Philadelphia. Michael, who has been in the addiction treatment field since 2010, brings a wealth of knowledge and personal experience to the table. With a background as a licensed social worker and Certified Alcohol and Drug Counselor, Michael's journey from addiction to recovery is both inspiring and enlightening.
Joe and Michael dive deep into the concept of free will in addiction recovery. They explore how much of our path is determined by choice versus circumstance. Michael shares how camaraderie and support systems played a crucial role in his own recovery. They also discuss the medical approach to addiction treatment, viewing addiction as a disease, and the importance of spiritual awakening.
The conversation takes a fascinating turn as they touch on the impact of family and faith, the cycle of trauma, and even Milgram's experiments on obedience to authority. It's an episode packed with insights that are both thought-provoking and supportive, making it a must-listen for anyone navigating their own recovery journey or supporting someone who is.
