In The Circle

5. Can Addiction Ever Be Cured?


Listen Later

Today’s inquiry is from Jacob, and the question that came up for him was… "Is there a cure for addiction?" I want to be clear that I feel that addiction is part of the human condition. We all experience it in some way. We’re all on the spectrum. It was important to me that we go deep on this subject, as I feel this question touches all of us in some way. It’s something that many of us in recovery – and our loved ones – have asked.

Jacob’s earnestness and vulnerability in bringing forth this inquiry are so important. Everyone in the circle benefits when anyone demonstrates this kind of depth.

Tommy discusses:

  • Is there a “magic pill” to treat addiction? 
  • Tommy’s revolutionary way of thinking about addiction and recovery
  • Alignment with and evolution of 12-steps/AA
  • The definition of addiction
  • Putting a new lens on how you see time and assess your progress
