My problem is not my drug use. My problem is your opinion about my drug use.
Ever thought about what really influences our choices in recovery? In this episode of 'Position of Neutrality', Joe McDonald dives into the concept of persuasion and its impact on addiction recovery. Drawing wisdom from Alcoholics Anonymous, Joe highlights how being helpful and non-judgmental can make a world of difference when supporting someone on their recovery journey. He challenges us to rethink our attitudes towards addiction, pointing out that criticism often does more harm than good.
As Joe puts it, 'My problem is not my drug use. My problem is your opinion about my drug use'. This episode is a deep dive into the power of choice and the persuasive forces of substances like alcohol, cocaine, methamphetamines, heroin, and fentanyl. Instead of trying to talk someone out of using drugs, Joe suggests focusing on building supportive relationships.
The episode is engaging and authentic, urging listeners to reflect on their own attitudes and the power of choice in their lives. Tune in to 'Who's the Persuader?' for a thought-provoking look at how we can better support those struggling with addiction.
