There's no solution for me, knowing the answer to that question. My grandfather was, my dad wasn't. I am, my brother isn't. Is it in our family? Yes, is it because of hereditary? I think it's because of the choices I made.
Is addiction a matter of genetics, or does it stem from our environment and choices? In this episode of 'Powerless to Powerful', Mark Mascolo dives into the age-old debate of nature versus nurture in addiction. Chapter 13, 'The Phase 2 N's', sheds light on whether our tendencies towards addiction are inherited or shaped by our experiences. But Mascolo offers a refreshing take: the root cause is less important than how we respond to it.
He emphasizes the power of personal responsibility and the importance of focusing on what we can control in our recovery journey. Instead of getting bogged down by the 'thickness of thin things', Mascolo encourages listeners to channel their energy into actionable steps towards healing. This episode isn't just about understanding addiction; it's about finding strength and resilience in the face of it.
By highlighting the collective impact of recovery on families, Mascolo underscores that while addiction may be a family disease, recovery is a family solution. Tune in for an empowering discussion that challenges conventional narratives and inspires a proactive approach to overcoming addiction.
