Highlights from today's episode include:
Candice Plattor (10:39):
But I found that I was, it was hard for me to be in alignment with that philosophy after a while, because they see addiction as a disease. i can't just say, I'm not going to have Crohn's anymore, but I can do that with addiction. And they tell us that we're powerless over this disease. And I was already seeing that I was not powerless over this disease, you know, so it was, it was a difficult juxtaposition for me. And I decided to not continue to go. I don't see addiction as a disease.
Dr Manon (18:01):
There's a, the need to know that the addict can, or the one with addictive behaviours let's say is actually able to change that there is a belief, even in the 12 step program, as you said, which basically tells you to keep repeating I'm an addict. And you know, and it's like, if it becomes your label, then you really can't, you don't believe that there's even a chance to get this right.
Dr Manon (18:49):
And for the enablers as well, because they, they actually have that program too..
