If I can try to help shift the mindset to some people and let you kind of peer down into the brain and what's going on in the thought process of what is going through an addict's mind, it's not always what you think, it's not always how our society has portrayed addiction in the same way.
Ever wondered if we’ve been looking at addiction all wrong? In this eye-opening episode of 'Redemption from Addiction', host Matthew Kennedy challenges the conventional wisdom surrounding addiction. Drawing from his own experiences and a message he felt compelled to share, Kennedy dives deep into the complexities of addiction, suggesting it’s more than just a brain disease as often portrayed by the medical community.
Instead, he frames it as a health issue that can be addressed through practical measures, like incentivizing employers to hire those in recovery. This episode isn’t just about redefining addiction; it’s about reshaping how we support those on their journey to sobriety. Kennedy emphasizes the power of love and community in aiding recovery, offering a hopeful message for anyone touched by addiction.
Whether you’re in recovery, supporting someone who is, or simply curious about new perspectives on addiction, this episode provides valuable insights and a fresh way of thinking.
