Shattering Myths: Why You’re Not Broken by Addiction
I have met very, very few and maybe, no, I can't think of anybody that I met that was completely broken.
Ever felt like you’re beyond repair because of addiction? The Freedom Model team tackles this tough but crucial topic in their podcast episode, 'You’re Not Broken and Don’t Need to Be Fixed'. They challenge the conventional belief that addiction is a lifelong disease and argue that such a mindset can lead to feelings of hopelessness and self-pity. Instead, they propose that addiction is a temporary issue, and overcoming it is within your control.
Drawing from Viktor Frankl’s 'Man’s Search for Meaning', the team emphasizes the power of the mind to rise above even the toughest situations. They also critique traditional recovery methods like Alcoholics Anonymous, suggesting that these approaches are based on outdated myths. The episode encourages listeners to reject the notion of being 'broken' and instead embrace their true selves. This episode is perfect for anyone tired of the traditional narratives around addiction and looking for a fresh perspective.
It’s a call to action to take control of your life, dispel the myths surrounding addiction, and find hope in your journey towards recovery. Tune in for an eye-opening discussion that could change the way you view addiction and recovery forever.
