Liking Intoxication: A New Perspective on Addiction and Recovery
“You want to stop, you want the consequences to end, but you're still holding onto the value and the perceived benefits, many of which are probably false, and you want to stop now. You have to have a change in your preference before you can do that.”
Ever find yourself torn between enjoying intoxication and hating its aftermath? In this thought-provoking episode of 'The Freedom Model for Addictions', hosts Michelle Dunbar and Mark Scheeren tackle this very dilemma. They argue that if you keep returning to substance use, it means you still derive some pleasure from it, despite the negative consequences. But don't worry, they don't just leave it at that.
They challenge the conventional wisdom that addiction is a lifelong disease and offer an alternative path to recovery that focuses on personal responsibility and informed choices. Forget the traditional methods that often leave you feeling trapped. Michelle and Mark present a fresh perspective that empowers you to experiment with sobriety and find what truly makes you happy.
This episode is perfect for anyone who's tired of the same old recovery narratives and is looking for a new way to break free from addiction.
