Just an observation……double-minded thinking reflected in memes about addiction:
In one post: “Addicts are good people…..they are victims of a disease and they can’t help it.” In the very next post “Recovery …is a choice, a decision, an action.”
In one post “….don’t hurt them, don’t judge them.” In the very next post “If your addicted loved one is angry with you, you might be saving their life.”
Different recovery programs have different paradigms and approaches, but each program/addiction recovery professional should be consistent in the paradigm from which it operates. Then individuals coming for care KNOW what they are getting and can CHOOSE the paradigm or addiction treatment modality that they believe will be most helpful.
