Unmasking Addiction: The True Reasons Behind Substance Use
“When you are distracted by something that takes you away from the real reason why you get high... it's a black and white answer. Is there a better way to achieve that in my life.”
Ever wondered why some people keep turning to alcohol and drugs despite the havoc it wreaks on their lives? In this episode of 'The Freedom Model for Addictions', hosts Mark Scheeren and Michelle Dunbar tackle the age-old question: Why do we keep getting drunk and high? They argue against the conventional belief that addiction is a disease, suggesting instead that it's a temporary problem driven by personal choices and motivations.
The episode dives into the misconceptions surrounding traditional treatments like the 12-step program and rehab, questioning their effectiveness and long-term impact. By exploring individual motivations, the hosts offer a fresh perspective on how to approach substance use. They also discuss the role of government in shaping our views on addiction, shedding light on how policy influences public perception.
The episode aims to empower listeners with the idea that addiction isn't a life sentence but a challenge that can be overcome with the right mindset and support. If you're tired of the same old narratives and looking for a new way to understand addiction, this episode is a must-listen.
