How Understanding and Naming Addiction Unlocks True Freedom | A Threefold Illness Explained
Ep. 42
This episode tackles one of the most misunderstood topics in recovery: the true nature of addiction.
Too often, addiction is clouded by stigma, shame, and incomplete information. Misconceptions—like the belief that acknowledging powerlessness is weakness, or that labeling addiction is harmful—keep people stuck in cycles of pain and judgment.
In this episode, Hannah breaks through the myths and explains why naming addiction and admitting powerlessness is not a limitation, but the very key that unlocks freedom and lasting recovery.
You’ll discover:
- Addiction as a threefold illness — mind, body, and soul
- Why “willpower” has nothing to do with recovery
- The misunderstood role of naming and identifying addiction
- How compassion heals both those in recovery and those harmed by addiction
- Why spiritual solutions remain the foundation of true transformation
Whether you’re on your own recovery path, supporting someone you love, or seeking deeper understanding, this conversation offers clarity, compassion, and hope.
If this resonates, share it with someone who needs to hear it. Healing begins with awareness.
