But who am I to say that moderation for someone else might be successful for them, or at least a bridge to abstinence or whatever step is next for their recovery?
What if the path to sobriety isn't as clear-cut as we think? In this episode of Recovery Happy Hour, host Tricia Lewis sits down with James to explore the concept of harm reduction in addiction recovery. James opens up about his personal battle with alcohol and drug use, sharing how harm reduction became a crucial step in his journey towards abstinence.
He challenges the traditional views on recovery by asking, 'Who am I to say that moderation might not be a successful step for someone else?' This conversation dives deep into the nuances of addiction, emphasizing the importance of meeting individuals where they are in their recovery process. James also touches on how discussing mental health in the workplace and making significant career changes have played a role in his newfound purpose.
Whether you're in recovery, supporting someone who is, or simply curious about different approaches to healing, this episode offers a compassionate and thought-provoking perspective on the diverse paths to sobriety.
