Why Beating Addiction is Not About Quitting

This week on the IGNTD Recovery podcast, I let you in on some of the secrets that separate the IGNTD Recovery method from other methods of recovery from addiction. The focus that everybody puts on quitting (or on abstinence) is actually causing more failure than success. It’s causing more addicts to lie, overdose, relapse, and no longer continue to seek a course of treatment.

The number one piece that makes IGNTD Recovery different is that it doesn’t require quitting — because quitting is the wrong goal. Quitting should be a symptom of success.
