Rethinking Addiction: A New Perspective with Bob Gardner

Episode Overview

  • Bob challenges the belief that addiction is a disease by examining the history and evolution of the word 'addiction.'
  • He highlights the paradox of trying to cure a problem that doesn't actually exist and offers an alternative perspective on addiction.
  • Listeners are encouraged to question societal beliefs and myths, opening up the possibility of a simpler and more powerful path to overcoming addiction.
If you believe addiction is a real thing, then you've got to go solve it. The problem is the real thing. Addiction is defined as something that is unsolvable, uncurable, that the best thing you can do is manage it and cope with it.
Is addiction really a disease, or have we been looking at it all wrong? In this eye-opening episode of 'Alive and Free', Bob Gardner dives into the murky waters of addiction myths. With a blend of historical context and modern insights, Bob unpacks the evolution of the term 'addiction' from its humble beginnings to its current association with chronic disease. He doesn't just stop at debunking myths; he offers a refreshing viewpoint that challenges the conventional wisdom surrounding addiction.
What if you didn't have to battle addiction for the rest of your life? What if there was a simpler, more direct path to freedom? Bob's approach isn't about fighting addiction but understanding and working with it to move forward and live a fulfilling life. This episode is perfect for anyone feeling stuck or weighed down by addiction, depression, or anxiety.
Bob's mix of tough love and unconventional wisdom will leave you questioning long-held beliefs and considering new possibilities for your journey to freedom.
