“Once an Addict, Always an Addict” is a MYTH!

Anyone can beat their addiction. There’s this phrase, “Once an addict, always an addict.” But what do they mean? For most people, their life struggles create their addiction. So are we really saying that if someone is struggling in their life right now, they will always struggle? What if we flipped the script and stopped labeling those seeking recovery as addicts?

The IGNTD Recovery approach is so much more than abstinence and identifying as an addict.

And I know this to be true: anybody can beat their addictions. So join me this episode to learn more about the problem with rehabilitation centers pushing the label of “addict,” the impact it can have, and the main principles of IGNTD Recovery that can truly help people get their life back — or, create an even better life.
