There is no thing called addiction that compels you to use... it's desire, it's a preference for heavy intoxication based on things we've learned and been taught our whole lives.
Why does the word 'solution' cause such a stir when it comes to addiction? In this thought-provoking episode of The Addiction Solution Podcast, hosts Mark Scheeren and Michelle Dunbar tackle this very question. They dive into the controversy surrounding the term 'addiction' and challenge the conventional wisdom that treats it as a lifelong disease. Instead, they present a refreshing perspective that views addiction as a temporary problem with a solution, sparking a lively debate on the subject.
Mark and Michelle debunk common myths about addiction, treatment, and the 12-step programs that dominate recovery culture. They argue that addiction is not an uncontrollable force but rather a learned preference for heavy intoxication. Their discussion emphasizes the power of the mind in overcoming addiction and finding happiness without substances. The hosts also highlight the benefits of the Freedom Model International Membership, which offers resources and support for those looking to break free from substance dependence.
If you're curious about alternative approaches to addiction recovery and want to explore a model that champions mental strength and personal choice, this episode is a must-listen.
