About this listen
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.

With all that said, I must give a brief response to what was said in the only other review that has been posted so far.
This book and method are not the same as Allen Carr's easyway (which is also an excellent method by the way). There are similarities between them but there are crucial differences in the approach that the authors of the Freedom Model take. It is also not too* bloated. The authors go into detail because an issue that kills people deserves detail. If learning how to deal with problems isn't worth a relatively small amount of your time, perhaps your problem isn't all that bad. It is also utterly inane to relegate a grave indictment of the failures, and even destructive beliefs and practices, of the recovery movement to the infantile designation "AA hate" or "a constant moan". I can only suppose that such a person hasn't the intellect required to comprehend what are relatively simple concepts.
Anyone who reads this, forgive my little rant. I'm not in the habit of using reviews to critique other reviews. I just feel that such drivel can't be left unchallenged.
An absolute gem of a book. It has helped me to see what's been staring me in the face for years.

To Bloated, AA hating is over the top
