| When struggling with an addiction, you may believe or you may have been told that it is an incurable disease or disorder. You may believe that staying abstinent will be a lifelong battle filled with daily anguish, boredom, and despair. You may have been told in treatment or support group meetings that the best you can ever hope for is a daily reprieve from using alcohol and drugs, and that no matter how long you remain abstinent, each day will be a new battle with your “disease” called addiction. If you believe any of this, please know it’s dead wrong! According to the largest studies on addiction done to date, the National Epidemiologic Studies on Addiction and Related Conditions I, II, III (NESARC) performed each decade since 2001/02, more than 90% of people who once fit the criteria for Alcohol Use Disorder and Substance Use Disorder fully get over the problem. And most do so without going to treatment or support group meetings. The researchers who developed The Freedom Model for Addictions have spent the past 30+ years scouring addiction research, helping people to get over addictions, and studying those who have been most successful. They have found that you don’t have to settle for a daily battle with an imaginary disease, you can find complete freedom and build the life you’ve always wanted. Watch in the video below as Freedom Model co-creator Mark Scheeren talks about freeing yourself of your addictions for good. |
