Why Recovery Programs Fail So Many People; Jimmie Applegate | With Amb. Elisha
Description
On this powerful episode of The Elisha Show, Amb. Elisha welcomes Jimmie Applegate, author of Addicted to Failure, to unpack the hard truths about addiction recovery — and why so many treatment programs continue to fall short.
After spending 30 years battling pornography and sex addiction, Jimmie discovered that sobriety alone is not recovery. Through trauma repair, neuroscience, neuroplasticity, and personalized healing methods, he found lasting freedom — and now challenges an industry stuck in outdated models.
In this eye-opening conversation, you’ll discover:
• Why the traditional 30-day rehab model often fails
• The problem with “one-size-fits-all” recovery programs
• Why relapse isn’t always the patient’s fault
• The importance of trauma work and brain rewiring
• How customized recovery pathways create better outcomes
• A message of hope for those who feel they’ve failed multiple times
Jimmie shares a bold perspective: addiction is complex, recovery must be personalized, and lasting change requires more than just stopping a behavior.
If you or someone you love is struggling with addiction, this episode delivers both truth and hope.
