Other than that, the choice whether to keep using or not or how excessively to use, that's not a disease, that's a choice, that's a freely chosen behavior.
Ever wondered if addiction is truly a disease or simply a choice? In this eye-opening episode of Safe Recovery, Monica Richardson sits down with Steven Slate from St. Jude's Retreat to tackle this very question. Steven, an articulate writer and advocate, brings a fresh perspective to the table, challenging the conventional wisdom that addiction is a disease. He passionately argues that empowerment and personal choice play a crucial role in recovery, steering away from the traditional 12-step approach.
Steven doesn't just talk theory; he shares his own journey of overcoming addiction, offering a candid look into how he navigated his path to sobriety. The conversation dives deep into the cultural influences on addiction and explores the controversial topic of drug legalization. Steven's insights are both thought-provoking and empowering, urging listeners to rethink their beliefs about substance use and recovery.

Steven Slate's approach is all about putting the power back into your hands, making it perfect for anyone seeking a new way to tackle alcohol and drug dependency.
