Now, plug in your addiction, and it didn't seem the least bit ridiculous, did it? That's what they want us to see. So I can't think I'm sane if I can plug in my addiction and defend every silly, stupid thing I did...
Ever thought about how addiction makes us cling to harmful habits? In this episode of 'Position of Neutrality', Joe McDonald paints a vivid picture using a unique analogy: jaywalking. Joe dives into the book 'Alcoholics Anonymous: The Story of How Many Thousands of Men and Women Have Recovered From Alcoholism' to explain how addiction can make us defend irrational behaviors, much like a jaywalker who can't stop crossing the street dangerously, even after getting hurt multiple times.
Joe's analogy helps us see the absurdity of addiction, making it easier to understand why people continue harmful behaviors despite the consequences. By comparing addiction to jaywalking, he highlights how deeply ingrained and irrational these behaviors can become. This episode is a must-listen for anyone wanting to understand the nature of addiction better. Whether you're on your own recovery journey or supporting someone else, Joe's insights will give you a fresh perspective on the challenges and irrationalities of addiction.
Tune in for an eye-opening discussion that could change how you view addiction and recovery.
