Denial of our addiction keeps us sick, but our honest admission of addiction enables us to stop using. The only alternatives to recovery are jails, institutions, legalization and death.
Have you ever wondered what it really means to be an addict? In this eye-opening episode of 'Addiction Recovery - Living The Program', host Roy Nichols reads from the Narcotics Anonymous sixth edition, offering a raw and honest look at the world of addiction. Addiction isn't just about the substances; it's a disease that isolates people, making them feel hostile, resentful, and self-centered. It strips away living skills and can make individuals feel like they're living at an animal level.
The episode explains how addiction is chronic, progressive, and potentially fatal, and highlights the importance of not using as the only effective treatment. Roy doesn't sugarcoat the reality of addiction but provides a sense of hope by discussing the transformative power of the Narcotics Anonymous program. By admitting their addiction honestly, individuals can begin their journey towards recovery and healing.
This episode is a must-listen for anyone wanting to understand addiction better, whether you're struggling yourself or supporting someone who is. Tune in for an informative and heartfelt discussion that offers both insight and hope.
