Language is a powerful tool that influences our thoughts, behaviors, and perceptions. In this discussion, we will explore how the words we use can reinforce or challenge our addictive patterns. From the labels we assign to ourselves and others to the narratives we create around our dependencies, language plays a crucial role in shaping our experiences with addiction. We'll hear from linguists, psychologists, and individuals who have transformed their relationships with addiction through mindful language use. Together, we will discuss strategies for reframing our narratives and fostering a healthier dialogue around addiction, empowering listeners to break free from the chains of harmful language.
