What this episode covers

What you think about yourself is what you become. Addiction is a habit that is self-created and developed over time for personal reasons. Physical dependence is a physical toxicity issue, not an addiction issue, and there’s no such thing as an addictive gene. The Freedom Model runs counter-culture to what you may have heard before and gives hope to those who have failed traditional treatment. Join Dr. Hotze and his guests, Mark Scheeren and Michelle Dunbar of The Freedom Model, a St. Jude Retreat in New York. Mark shares that it’s okay to reject the labels (alcoholic, addict, etc.) and move on with your life. Michelle grew up in the cult of AA. She drank and tried her 1st drug at 12 and started using regularly at 16 or 17. They have educated over 8,000 people (most of which have failed at traditional treatment) about the power of choice! Escape the power of addiction and go from hopeless to hopeful, knowing you have control and power over drugs and alcohol. If you or someone you know needs to escape from the power of addiction, you can contact The Freedom Model at www.soberforever.net or call them directly at (888) 424-2626.
