In 'Celebrating Your Autonomy to Gain True Freedom', Mark Sheeran and Michelle Dunbar tackle the controversial yet compelling concept that addiction is not a disease and recovery can be achieved without traditional rehab methods. The episode is part of 'The Freedom Model For Addictions', where Mark and Michelle challenge the status quo of addiction treatment, offering a fresh perspective that centres around personal autonomy.
They discuss how the notion of addiction as a lifelong disease is flawed and instead propose that recovery is a personal journey, one that can be guided by individual choice and factual information. With over three decades of experience, they share their insights on how embracing freedom can lead to genuine recovery. Through engaging dialogue, they dismantle common myths about 12-step programmes and treatment centres, highlighting how these can often hinder rather than help.
The episode is filled with anecdotes and real-life examples, making it relatable and accessible for anyone grappling with addiction or supporting someone who is. If you're tired of the revolving door of traditional rehab and looking for a path that respects your autonomy, this episode offers a refreshing alternative. It's a chance to explore how freedom and choice can pave the way to a healthier, happier life.
