124. Can I Be Free From Addiction Once And For All?

On this episode of In The Circle, we hear from Recovery 2.0 member, Luis, who asks… Are you ever truly free from addiction? His question takes us down an interesting path, where we must dissect the perspective of people struggling with addiction and those struggling in recovery. This inquiry challenges the oft-heard phrase: “once an addict, always an addict.” In this episode, we unpack what I refer to as “The Big 6” (main categories of addiction) and the 4 Aggravations (more insidious mental addictions), providing a more hopeful context for healing. We also uncover powerful truths… That you'll be healed from addiction when you no longer seek to be healed from it, when you're no longer looking for a cure; and that a real medicine makes itself obsolete. Tommy discusses: Are you ever really "cured" from addiction? Dispelling the adage "once an addict, always an addict" If you could use again with no side effects and no one knowing, would you?
