The Blame Game in Addiction: Myths and Realities
“The blame doesn't help you to move forward. And blame doesn't do anything, it doesn't add to that conversation, it doesn't distraction, it doesn't help in the weighing of options.”
Why do we often look for someone or something to blame when it comes to addiction? In this episode of 'The Freedom Model for Addictions', hosts Mark Scheeren and Michelle Dunbar tackle this very question. They argue that the blame game doesn't help anyone recover; instead, it perpetuates myths that have been around for decades. The episode dives into why addiction isn't a disease and critiques the effectiveness of traditional rehab and 12-step programs.
Scheeren and Dunbar offer a fresh perspective, focusing on personal choice and responsibility. They also provide free resources like videos, podcasts, and e-books to help listeners gain a deeper understanding of addiction. If you're tired of the same old narratives and want to explore a non-judgmental approach to recovery, this episode is for you.
