VOICE OF FREEDOM
My Ashleah Foundation Voice of Freedom (Addiction Prevention)
Do you struggle with addiction? If so, we know a voice that will lead you to freedom from your addiction. The voice of addiction, or the addictive voice, is the thought pattern that supports or suggests the use of alcohol, drugs, or other substances that are harmful to our mind and body. Individuals who struggle with addiction and problematic alcohol and drug use are often “of two minds.” Part of them is aware of the problem and want to make a conscious effort to reduce or stop using substances, while the other part of them wants to continue the behavior. The voice of addiction never stops speaking until we learn to speak back with our voice that leads you to freedom.
Proverbs 18:21 tells us that life and death are in the power of the tongue. Voice of Freedom safely facilitates and guides you on how to use your voice that leads you to freedom from your addiction. Your voice can be used as a weapon to harm and destroy or as a tool to build and heal. Our facilitators are trained to safety guide the person or persons using Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to identify and replace negative thought patterns and using Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to accept negative feelings and focus on healthier patterns safety.

Overcoming the Voice of Addiction
Confronting and overcoming the voice of addiction is one of the most challenging and powerful weapons an individual can use against addictive behaviors and substance use disorders. Deactivating unhealthy thought patterns of addiction requires conscious work on the cognitive and physical behaviors that trigger an individual to want to use substances. Regardless of the recovery approach a person chooses to engage in, they can become better skilled at recognizing and confronting the addictive voice, which can lead to more success in achieving long-term or permanent abstinence. It is important for individuals to learn how to manage the voice of addiction in order to maintain a safe, healthy, and productive lifestyle.
