It's a chronic disease... it's not a moral failure, it's not a weakness...
Addiction touches countless families, and Henry's Uncle is here to shed light on these personal battles. In this heartfelt introductory episode, host Erik Kilgore, along with Bobby, Jimmy, and Greg, open up about their reasons for starting the podcast. The story begins with Erik's older brother, James, who tragically passed away from an accidental fentanyl overdose.
This loss inspired Erik to create a platform where people can share their experiences with addiction and recovery, aiming to dismantle the stigma surrounding substance use disorders. This episode is not just about recounting tragic stories; it's about understanding addiction as a chronic disease, not a moral failing. You'll hear from individuals in recovery, their families, and professionals like doctors and law enforcement officers who work on the front lines of this epidemic.
The hosts manage to blend humor with serious discussions, making the podcast both informative and relatable. If you're looking for a compassionate yet candid look at addiction and recovery, this episode offers valuable insights and a sense of community for anyone affected by these issues.
