This whole disease model is an absolute joke. It relieves you of any responsibility and any accountability.
What if the common beliefs about addiction are actually holding you back? Jared Lutwyche, the straight-talking host of 'Motivational Recovery Ny', dives into this controversial idea in his latest episode. Jared argues that the disease model of addiction, which treats addiction as a chronic illness, might be more harmful than helpful. He believes it lets people off the hook by shifting the blame to their 'disease' rather than encouraging them to take responsibility for their actions.
This, according to Jared, creates a cycle of victimhood that keeps people stuck in their addiction. But Jared doesn’t stop at criticism. He also shines a light on the role big pharmaceutical companies play in this narrative. By pushing drugs like methadone and suboxone as 'treatments', they profit without addressing the underlying issues that lead to addiction in the first place. This dependency on medication, he argues, traps addicts in another form of addiction rather than offering true recovery.
Jared’s message is simple yet powerful: recovery starts with personal accountability. He urges listeners to own up to their past actions and make real changes to move forward. It’s a tough-love approach, but one that he believes is necessary for genuine recovery. This episode is a must-listen for anyone tired of feeling like a victim and ready to take control of their recovery journey.
Jared’s candid discussion challenges conventional wisdom and offers a fresh perspective on what it takes to break free from addiction.
