Your answer tells you if \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cem\u003eThe Freedom Model for Addictions\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e is the answer you have been looking for.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eThe Freedom Model\u003c\/em\u003e debunks the addiction disease concept as well as the idea that recovery is needed after you've decided to abstain or moderate your use. Much of the content within the book may surprise you, maybe even shock you. For example: \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003eDid you know addiction IS NOT a disease?\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eDid you know the brain disease theory is not based on sound science and is actually a myth?\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eDid you know that addictions are habits, just like many other habits, and that as such are quite easy to break once you know the facts?\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eDoes your gut tell you that treatment is just another money grab from those who are vulnerable, and that something is drastically wrong with the rehab industry as a whole?\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e \u003cp\u003eIf so, you'd be right - rehabs don't work, and \u003cem\u003eThe Freedom Model\u003c\/em\u003e tells you exactly why and how this Western cultural institution came to gain such power over people's lives. For those immersed in the 12 step culture or in the rehab culture, this book provides a path out of those institutions, and into a much more empowered state of mind.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eOur experience of researching drug and alcohol use and helping thousands with these issues for more than 30 years tells us people desire to be completely free from addiction. They also want to be free from the idea of being in recovery just as much. Neither of these options: addiction or recovery - have held great favor with the masses. In fact, the vast majority of people with drug and alcohol problems (more than 90%) don't go to treatment nor do they enter the subculture of recovery. They simply move past their addictions, and they do so without any treatment whatsoever. Did you know that? This is the great untold story in treatment circles, but one we unearth for your benefit. This fact alone demonstrates just how normal it is to break habits that we no longer want in our lives. Let's face it, people desire freedom; freedom to choose their own direction; freedom to move past habits that have them feeling trapped and in pain; freedom from the addict and alcoholic identity; freedom from the limits of 12 step culture and the drug and alcohol rehabilitation industry; freedom to be happier; freedom to move on past the struggles and challenges of life\u003cem\u003e. The Freedom Model\u003c\/em\u003e guides the reader on this path by offering the opposite of the treatment industry's empty promises - it offers \u003cem\u003ereal freedom \u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eThe Freedom Model\u003c\/em\u003e is an approach that \u003cem\u003ede\u003c\/em\u003econstructs the construct of addiction and recovery and all that surrounds these beliefs. By doing so, you can be completely free to move on in your life without those constructs holding you back and keeping you needlessly trapped in an endless addiction\/recovery\/addiction cycle. \u003cem\u003eThe Freedom Model\u003c\/em\u003e renders addiction and recovery as completely obsolete and unnecessary in both your personal life and as cultural constructs that keep the masses blind to the solutions that exist within the individual. While The Freedom Model is a book, it is the research and the message contained on those pages that are the real solution to an individual's struggles with drugs and alcohol.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":49606116737297,"sku":"GOR011534472","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":49724423667985,"sku":"CIN0983471347G","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":51010482798865,"sku":"NIN9780983471349","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ LIKE_NEW \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":51142793756945,"sku":"GOR014184558","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ VERY_GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":51391546720529,"sku":"CIN0983471347VG","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0983471347.jpg?v=1751046268"},{"product_id":"freedom-model-for-the-family-book-steven-slate-9780983471387","title":"The Freedom Model for the Family","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Freedom Model for the Family is an approach for families dealing with a loved one who is struggling from addiction. It was written by the authors of The Freedom Model for Addictions and uses the same principles in a way that families can apply them.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAddiction is not a disease, and it's definitely not a family disease. Treating it like one has led us to the crisis we're seeing today.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTreatment plays both sides of the fence. It labels addiction a disease, but then advises families to implement tough love and cut the substance user off. Can you imagine screaming at your son suffering from cancer that you're done with him and will no longer support him due to his cancer? Can you imagine oncologists advocating that families cut off their loved one with cancer? No one would ever do that, yet it happens around the country every day regarding addiction. It is time for a solution that lets go of the disease mythology while not demanding you abandon your loved one or coerce them into disease-based treatment. There is a better way.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFinally, we now know what addiction is and what it is not, we know why people struggle, and we know how best to help them and their families. There's a viable solution that has helped thousands of people to put addiction and substance use problems behind them for good. Based on three decades of research and experience helping substance users and their families, \u003cem\u003eThe Freedom Model for Addictions and The Freedom Model for the Family\u003c\/em\u003e is nothing short of revolutionary.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":50376690630929,"sku":"CIN098347138XG","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":50577738760465,"sku":"GOR014003731","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":51010378891537,"sku":"NIN9780983471387","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ VERY_GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":52105927491857,"sku":"CIN098347138XVG","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/098347138X.jpg?v=1751332063"}],"url":"https:\/\/www.worldofbooks.com\/collections\/author-books-by-steven-slate.oembed","provider":"World of Books ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
