Shifting Focus: Understanding the Roots of Addiction

Don't be problem focused. Don't be symptom focused. My problem was never alcohol and drugs. That was a symptom of an underlying problem.
Ever felt like you're just scratching the surface of your recovery journey? In this episode of 'Position of Neutrality', Joe McDonald dives deep into the wisdom of the founders of Alcoholics Anonymous. The episode, titled 'Don’t be problem focused don’t be symptoms focused', challenges listeners to look beyond the obvious. Joe explains how focusing solely on the symptoms of addiction can keep you stuck, while addressing the root causes can lead to real transformation.
By sharing insights from the book 'Alcoholics Anonymous: The Story of how Many Thousands of Men and Women Have Recovered From Alcoholism', Joe illustrates how a shift in perspective can make all the difference. He emphasizes that alcohol and drugs are not the core problem, but rather symptoms of deeper issues. Through engaging stories and practical advice, Joe encourages listeners to embrace a new attitude towards their struggles.
This episode is a must-listen for anyone looking to understand the true essence of recovery and find lasting peace.
