Thinking Your Way Out of Addiction

Thinking Your Way Out of Addiction

Have you ever wondered if addiction is truly a disease or if the traditional 12-step programmes are as effective as they claim? In this episode of 'The Freedom Model for Addictions', hosts Mark Sheeran and Michelle Dunbar challenge these common beliefs and present a fresh perspective on overcoming addiction. Using their own experiences and The Freedom Model, they argue that addiction is not a lifelong battle but a series of choices you can control.

They share stories of individuals who have successfully quit behaviours like smoking and gambling without the need for traditional rehab or 12-step programmes. Instead, they focus on the power of the mind and personal decision-making. The episode delves into the pervasive influence of 12-step programmes in our culture and how they can make people feel powerless. Mark and Michelle encourage you to take back control by understanding your own motivations and making conscious choices.

With a mix of humour and hard-hitting truths, they debunk myths surrounding addiction recovery and provide practical advice for those looking to break free from their struggles. If you're tired of feeling like a victim to your addictions, this episode offers a liberating alternative that puts you back in the driver's seat of your life.
