The Freedom Model for Addictions

Escape the Treatment and Recovery Trap

By: Steven Slate, Mark W. Scheeren, Michelle L. Dunbar

Narrated by: Baldwin Research Institute Inc.

Do you want an addiction - a lifelong diagnosis - or do you want to see yourself as having a habit that you can solve completely? Your answer tells you if The Freedom Model for Addictions is the answer you have been looking for.

The Freedom Model 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:

• Did you know addiction is not a disease?
• Did you know the brain disease theory is not based on sound science and is actually a myth?
• Did 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?
• Does 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?

If so, you’d be right - rehabs don’t work, and The Freedom Model 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.

The Freedom Model is an approach that deconstructs 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. The Freedom Model 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.

Finally

Finally, a model that connects all the dots! A model I’ll follow for my lifetime.

Life changing! BRILLIANT

This book really is an eye opener regarding drugs and addiction and in my opinion, life in general!
Great way to set up your mind and get free of addiction very easily!

Freedom

I have read many books about “addiction” in the past but this is by far the best and only one you really need. It gives you freedom instead feeding you a bunch of bs about how you helpless. The book also claims everything it says with research and examples. I hope this model becomes wide spread so no one has to suffer from this fake disease called addiction

One of the Most Important Books I've Read

The book makes a pretty wild claim, which can be difficult to believe at first, but it does more than enough to back it up. It combines study after study, historical events, personal experiences, and logic to prove that you can be free (that you always were.)

This book is real. It is not a regurgitation of what you traditionally hear. It's not full of buzzwords and platitudes. It is written by people who understand the experience of addiction, and they will not tell you what to do or how to live your life. What they will do is equip you to pursue your happiest option

If you're struggling with addiction and nothing else seems to work, read this book. After all, what do you have to lose?

Fantastic! Knowledge is power!

I found the detailed research debunking the myths of addiction and recovery enlightening. Overall the book helps strengthen the power of choice and the reasons one enjoys and chooses nearly all activities. This is the path to balance for the non-12 stepper.
